They are more than jewelry. They are more than a sentimental keepsake.
Wearing the cross is a profession of the faith you have in Jesus Christ. It is a visible symbol of your commitment to share with others, the love and hope we as Christians, hold close within our hearts. It is an honorable thing to wear the cross of Christ.
What makes Church Mouse crosses so special?
First, let me acknowledge that all crosses are special. But the crosses we sell are made special. We begin by selecting premium hardwoods. Each cross is then carefully measured and cut by hand. Our crosses are not mass produced in a factory. Our crosses are not cheap imports from other countries. Our crosses are crafted in Virginia, by one man, using the time honored methods established by master craftsmen.
Why wooden crosses? Why so many styles? Why different wood species?
Tradition and taste is the answer to all of the above questions. The cross you wear is a replica of the cross that Christ died upon. Crosses were only made of wood in the first century. The wooden cross reminds us of Christ's life, death and resurrection in the following way… The wooden cross used to be a living part of our world, a tree. The tree had to die in order to bring us the wood we use. And the tree is resurrected in the fact that in the form of the cross, it now symbolizes life eternal for those who believe. One reason for so many styles of crosses is personal taste, but another is to bring attention to your cross necklace. You want people to notice it, so you can tell them about what it means to you. We use only the finest hardwoods for our crosses so they will last for generations. Each species of wood has it's own character and attributes. Again, personal taste will determine the species of wood you choose for your cross.
