New Painted Cross Patterns from Mexico

September 18, 2014

The cross is one of the most ancient human symbols, and has been used by many religions, most notably Christianity. It may be seen as a division of the world into four elements (Chevalier, 1997) or cardinal points, or alternately as the union of the concepts of divinity, the vertical line, and the world, the horizontal line (Koch, 1955). The cross is the universal symbol of Christianity, intended to represent the death of Jesus when he was crucified on the True Cross and his resurrection in the New Testament.

It is not known when the first cross image was made; after circles, crosses are one of the first symbols drawn by children of all cultures.

La Fuente Imports offers numerous versions of this dynamic religious symbol including our Painted Clay Crosses. This category is filled with many new floral designs, in a rainbow of colors, for your enjoyment. Each cross is lovingly hand-made and painted with a variety of lively colors by skilled craftsmen in Jalisco, Mexico. The radiant colors will surely make a beautiful addition to any room in your hacienda.

Each cross is well made and comes with a hole on the back for ease of hanging. Place this cross in any room as a remembrance of your faith, give to a loved one or treat yourself!
