These Crosses are rich in symbolism. Here are the meanings behind each design:
Poinsettia: Evergreen pine garland denoting everlasting life winds its way up the Cross to a red poinsettia symbolizing the Christmas star and the Blood of Christ.
Nativity: The Holy Family kneels at the bottom with St. Mary and St. Joseph holding baby Jesus. Holly and berries representing eternal life wind up the Cross to the Christmas Star shaped like the Cross to mark the ending Jesus' earthly life will have, and is surrounded by angels announcing his birth.
Sunflower/Harvest: With a sunflower burst calling us to live in God's light, figs to represent peace and faith in God, and wheat and grapes representing bread and wine, we are reminded of Jesus' body and blood sacrifice, and his Eucharistic gift to us.
Easter Lilies: The Easter Lily represents Jesus' resurrection and our hope in Him. The flowers represent new life in Christ.
Floral Mix: The colorful flowers represent new life in Christ and climb up and around the Cross as if to embrace it.
New Baby: A bunny and sleeping lamb wait beneath a new baby floating on a cloud over fluttering butterflies, welcoming this new life.
Baptism: A golden seashell drips water symbolizing new life in Christ into a pool surrounded by flourishing palm leaves reminiscent of Christ's Baptism in the Jordan, purifying and making holy the waters for us.
Holy Communion: A dove representing the Holy Spirit descends to Earth over the Eucharistic host from which one red and one blue ray of light emanate. The rays of light represent Jesus' blood poured out for us and his enormous, incomprehensible mercy, as Catholics believe was revealed to St. Faustina. Wheat and grapes represent bread and wine and Jesus' body and blood sacrifice.
Celtic: The Trinity Knot in the middle symbolizes the Holy Trinity, the knots winding around the Cross represent eternal life.
