SPINA
CHRISTI RELIQUARY CRUCIFIX
This
special crucifix not only contains soil from the Holy Catacombs,
it has also been touched to a 1st class Relic of the True Cross!
A small screw in the
bottom of this very unique crucifix, comes out to open up the reliquary
inside the crucifix.
Inside the reliquary there is a small
slip of paper which states "TERRA COTTA CATACOMBS" (Latin) and
a small amount of earth from the Holy Catacombs. There is room inside
the crucifix to put your own relic if you choose.
Comes packaged with a certificate of authenticity and history. It measures
1 1/2" high.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE HOLY CATACOMB SOIL INSIDE THE RELIQUARY:
I can not stress enough the historical and spiritual significance of the
Holy Catacombs Soil.
The Holy Catacombs are so much a part of our Christian identity!
By having this soil you actually come into contact with early Christianity.
You can almost tangibly sense the faith that motivated those ancient Christians.
This is soil from the very tombs of the first witnesses to Christ and
His message of salvation!
The catacombs also preserve the tombs of the first Christian Martyrs!
I know that my own thoughts turn to the "new martyrs" and "future
martyrs" who will die. The Christians who even in our time (and the
time to come!) are subjected to violence, abuse and misunderstanding,
because they wish to remain faithful to Christ and to his Gospel. I truly
feel a solidarity with my early Christian brothers and sisters which makes
this crucifix very special to me!
IN ADDITION, THIS CRUCIFIX WILL BE TOUCHED TO A 1st CLASS RELIC
OF THE TRUE CROSS:
The actual cross that Christ was crucified upon was buried and
later found by Helena Augustas, the mother of Constantine. The account
of this event appears in writing in the fourth century. Helena found all
three crosses. The True Cross of Christ has cured sick people as well
as restoring a dead woman to life by its touch. Due to this discovery,
along with her acts of charity, Helena became recognized as a saint. Portions
of the relic were distributed for personal use, which helped spread the
use of small personal crosses as objects of protection, signs of Christian
belief, and devotion. Relic crosses with the True Cross also became part
of the use of the cross by the armies of the East and the Crusaders. Relics
of the passion, including a piece of the True Cross, were among the relics
used in a procession in Paris in 1559 to save the life of King Henri II.
He entered into medical history as he lived 9 days after a splinter from
a lance pierced his helmet and then his brain while jousting.
It is also well known that St. Helena took a piece of the True
Cross to a woman afflicated with an incurable disease. She was immediately
cured and it was pronounced the True Cross!
This
special crucifix not only contains soil from the Holy Catacombs,
it has also been touched to a 1st class Relic of the True Cross!

St.
Benedict Crucifix anointed with Exorcism Oil
This
St. Benedict Cross features a very special St. Benedict Crucifix Medal
on the front and back side of the cross.
It
is extra special and powerful because it has been anointed with Exorcism
Oil, as our gift.
In
fact, the medal of St. Benedict, embedded in this crucifix, is a very
powerful sacramental with exorcizing properties; the exorcism is written
right on it!
The
design of this medal was made by Pope Benedict XIV. On one side there
is an image of St. Benedict and on his right hand he has the monastic
rule of St. Benedict.
On
the other side of the medal there are the intials of some Latin verses:
C.S.P.B.(Crux
Sancti Patris Benedicti/St. Benedict's Cross); C.S.S.M.L. (Crux Sacra
Sit Mihi Lux/The Holy Cross is my light); N.D.S.M.D. (Non Draco Sit Mihi
Dux/The devil won't be my guide); V.R.S. (Vade Retro Satana/Be gone devil!);
N.S.M.V. (Non Suade Mihi Vana/You won't persuade me to do evil); S.M.Q.L.
(Sunt Mala Quae Libas/What you show me is evil); I.V.B. (Ipse Venea Bibas/Drink
your poison yourself)
This
Powerful Cross comes with explanation of the cross in English on one side
and Spanish on the other. 4.5" tall, silver and woodgrain. From Italy.
$29.95
$19.95
Of
interest: Most people wear the Medal or Crucifix around their
necks; some bury it in the foundations of buildings in order to bless
them, hang them in their homes, or keep them in their car. When used in
specific circumstances for a specific effect, such as when placed against
a sick part of the body for healing, one should pray 6 Glorias, 6 Aves,
and 6 Paters. (Thanks to FishEaters.com for this information)

HISTORY BEHIND
THIS SPECIAL CARAVACA CROSS:
This is "The Cross of Miracles" according to many!
In the year 1232,
a miracle occurred in the Spanish town of Caravaca de la Cruz. A missionary
priest named Don Gínes Pérez Chirinos de Cuenca was captured
and taken before the Muslim king who was curious about "the Mass".
He wanted him to demonstrate the procedure. He refused at first, but finally
agreed. The king arranged for the necessary items: an altar draped with
a pall cloth, bread and wine, and some candles. However, a crucifix was
missing.
The
priest explained that the presence of a crucifix was critical to the Mass
and he could not 
continue
without one.
No
sooner had he spoken these words than the chamber was flooded brilliant
light and two angels appeared, bearing a 2-armed cross, the Vera Cruz
of Caravaca, containing wood from the true cross of Jesus Christ!
News
of this Miraculous Crucifix spread and it gained a reputation as a powerful
protector and healer in the centuries to come.
The
miracles didn't stop there: Eventually,
the town passed to the Knights Templar who, in the 15th century, built
the castle that still dominates the town today. At one time, the Knights
Templar and townsfolk were under siege by the Muslim army and took refuge
in the castle. It wasn't long before the water stored in the castle became
unpotable and several of the refugees became ill. Scouts crept out of
the castle at night to look for water but found the neighbouring wells
had been poisoned. In desperation, the scouts raced out of the castle
on horses to find a safe source of water. They found some wine, loaded
the wineskins on their horses and raced back to the castle.
The wine was
blessed in the presence the Caravaca Cross and served to those who had
been debilitated by the bad water. They recovered immediately and the
blessed wine was mixed with the toxic water in the storage tanks. The
water became fresh and as a result, the Christians were able to resist
the enemy!
Today, an annual fiesta
is held in the town to remember those events, which includes a ceremony
to bless the irrigation water used by Caravaca farmers.
Because of these miracles
and the relic of the True Cross, in 1998 Caravaca de la Cruz became the
fifth holy town celebrating the Perpetual Jubilee in the Vera Cruz Sanctuary
where the Caravaca Cross is kept.
Also of Note: Franciscan
monks travelled to the Americas, taking copies of the Caravaca cross with
them. This cross is also used by archbishops and patriarchs. This crucifix
is still popular in Central and South American churches and monasteries.
Houses and business hang this Caravaca Cross on the wall(s). You may also
choose to wear it.
