Widow's Mite Jerusalem Cross in Yellow Gold

This dramatic, 14K yellow gold Jerusalem cross is fashioned with one large, central cross, each arm detailed with an open cross and edged with a milgrain design.  Four, smaller, high-polished crosses surround the center, in which rests a "widow's mite," a genuine excavated coin, in use in first century Palestine.  This cross is a reminder to those who wear it to imitate the widow, giving themselves to Christ, just as the widow gave all she had, her two mites (Luke 21: 1-4).  For an enlarged view of this unique, Jerusalem cross with widow's mite coin, click on the left-hand image.

The Jerusalem Cross, referred to as the "Crusaders' Cross" during the Crusades, was the symbol of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem.  The central "Crusaders' Cross" represents the person of Christ; the four smaller crosses are said to symbolize the four evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), and the directions in which the word of God spread from Jerusalem.
