Experience the deep compassion of Christ through the official replica of Pope Francis’ Pectoral Cross, a reverent tribute to the heart of his papal mission. This Shepherd’s Cross Pendant, handcrafted in Rome and cast in durable alloy metal with an antique silver finish, is a small yet powerful symbol of mercy and divine care.
This cross is a faithful re-creation of the pectoral cross worn by Pope Francis since the beginning of his pontificate. It beautifully depicts Jesus as the Good Shepherd, tenderly carrying the lost sheep on His shoulders while the rest of the flock surrounds Him—an enduring image of Christ’s love for each soul. Above Him, the Holy Spirit descends as a dove, reminding us of the divine guidance that sustains our faith journey.
First seen on March 19, 2013, when Pope Francis appeared for the first time as the Holy Father, this design reflects his commitment to humility, care for the poor, and the call to bring back the lost with compassion. This pendant is more than a sacred accessory—it is a daily invitation to follow Christ’s example in your own life.
Each cross is available directly from Rome, it has been blessed by Pope Francis during a public audience in St. Peter’s Square, adding immeasurable spiritual value and grace to your devotional life.
