Wood & Metal Crosses for Fall Decorating

October 8, 2013

You can faithfully decorate your home this Fall with the same religious icons which are popularly used in Mexico's churches and on altars. The cross has religious significance to many; however wall crosses can also be an ornate decorative element. The wood and metals used in each handmade cross add a warm glow to any space they are used in, making them perfect for celebrating Autumn in the Southwest.

Our selection of elaborate wooden crosses has long been considered a cornerstone of popular Mexican folk art. Each handmade cross has been painstakingly adorned with tiny brass figures known as "milagros". Milagros are religious folk charms that are traditionally used for healing purposes in Mexico, the southern United States, other areas of Latin America, and parts of the Iberian peninsula. They are frequently attached to altars, shrines, and sacred objects found in places of worship, and they are often purchased in churches and cathedrals, or from street vendors. Each Wood and Metal Cross is handmade in Mexico.

Whether you display your new crosses on a wall as a border or grouping – they will be uniquely beautiful!
