Rooted in the earliest traditions of Christian sacred art, this Byzantine-style wall crucifix from Goldscheider of Vienna carries the weight of centuries in every detail. Handcrafted in Italy from antiqued brass, the warm, aged finish gives the cross a timeworn, heirloom quality — as if it has always belonged in a place of prayer. The Byzantine design, with its characteristic geometric richness and symbolic depth, reflects the ancient Eastern Christian tradition that shaped Catholic iconography for over a millennium.

Available exclusively at CatholicFaithStore.com, this is a devotional piece for those who seek beauty with meaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is this crucifix made?
This crucifix is handcrafted in Italy by Goldscheider of Vienna, a prestigious maker of Catholic devotional art. It is sold exclusively through CatholicFaithStore.com, your trusted source for premium Catholic gifts and home décor.
What is Byzantine style and how does it differ from other crucifixes?
Byzantine art refers to the sacred visual tradition of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, which profoundly shaped Catholic iconography from the 4th century onward. Byzantine crucifixes typically feature geometric ornamentation, symbolic patterning, and a formal, hieratic quality that distinguishes them from the more naturalistic Baroque or Gothic styles. This crucifix captures that ancient aesthetic in a beautifully wearable, wall-mounted format.
What does the antiqued brass finish look like?
Antiqued brass has a warm, darkened patina that gives the metal an aged, heirloom appearance — quite different from the bright shine of polished brass. The finish highlights the surface details of the Byzantine design and gives the crucifix a sense of history and depth.
Where can I display this crucifix?
Its 10" x 5½" size makes it ideal for bedrooms, entryways, home chapels, offices, classrooms, and parish spaces. It is wall-mounted and pairs beautifully with other devotional art and sacred imagery.
Is this a good Catholic gift?
Yes — the Byzantine style and antiqued finish make this a distinctive, thoughtful gift for those who appreciate the depth of Catholic artistic tradition. It is a meaningful choice for weddings, housewarmings, ordinations, memorials, Confirmations, and anniversaries. Find this and hundreds of other Catholic gifts at CatholicFaithStore.com.
