Bridge Cross

Some bridges reunite and serve as a symbol of reconciliation and return. Other bridges serve as a reminder of division and separation. The cross helps us understand and hold in balance both truths. The presence of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove helps us look to the function of reunion and reconciliation.

Cross: Purpleheart
Dove: Olive heartwood
Bridge columns: Olive sapwood

Circle of Hands Cross

The two hands of this cross are designed to form a circle -- a symbol of wholeness within a friendship between two people. The hands are set into a medallion giving the impression that the hands are encircled by a halo (or nimbus), the symbol for the presence of God. The cross is designed to be given in pairs, as a gift of friendship.

Celtic Fish Cross

The Celtic knot design is the symbol of oneness and the interconnectedness of all creation. This design also uses the ancient Christian symbol of the fish. Created by the chip carving technique, this cross accentuates the spirit of how friendships are woven together.

Woods: Holly (white) when available or 'apple' (always one of the nine sacred woods)

Blessing Cross  (regular and large size)

This cross is especially nice for celebrating the spirit of a special friendship. The cross is made from two pieces of wood -- the dove of one and the outstretched hands of the other. When sold as a pair, each person has a piece of the other’s cross. The silver line is zinc, a conductor of energy, affirming how friends empower each other.

Woods: Wenge and either Olive or Curly Maple

Welcoming Cross  (regular and large size)

This cross can have many different interpretations. It can be a crucifix with the two woods symbolizing the two natures of Christ. The two woods can symbolize the relationship between the person wearing the cross and Christ. The two woods can also affirm the special or spiritual relationship between two friends. At the heart of the cross is the reality of God’s love.
