Cross Depicting the Christ Childs birth has a star of David at the top to show Mary and Joseph the way. There are angels on both sides to herald the birth. Below the manger are figures of the wise men, shepherds and animals looking up toward the star. The wise men are seen traveling up toward the manger to celebrate our lord's birth. It is a beautiful cross, but it does show some signs of wear. Much of the gold paint has worn away, possible from handling. This cross shows the true meaning of Christmas. It is 12 inches tall, and 7 inches across and 21/2 inches wide. It is designed to hang on the wall.
