So trägst du es
The pendant is 30 x 50 mm and weighs 15 g, on a 60 cm (23.6 in) box chain. It falls on the lower chest, where the face at the center stays visible over a T-shirt or a dark sweater. Under a dress shirt it lies flat and does not pull. It is cut for both men and women.
The stainless steel does not rust, so it can stay on in the shower and at the gym. Silver gives a cool, sober look; gold-tone recalls old devotional medals. It is a thoughtful gift for Easter, during Lent, or at a confirmation.
Fragen
Is this a crucifix?
No. A crucifix shows the whole body of Christ on the cross. Here only his face appears, framed at the center of an open cross.
What is the devotion to the Holy Face?
It is a Catholic devotion that contemplates the face of Jesus in his Passion, linked to the tradition of Veronica's veil. Saint Thérèse of Lisieux took the religious name "of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face".
Is the 15 g Holy Visage pendant comfortable on its 60 cm box chain?
Yes. At 15 g for 30 x 50 mm you feel it, but the box chain carries it well and it rests on the lower chest without pulling.
Why is Christ's face set where the beams cross on The Holy Visage?
So that the cross and the one who died on it are seen together. It places the face of Christ at the heart of the sign, in the spirit of the devotion to the Holy Face.
Will the gold Holy Visage keep the detail of Christ's face?
Yes. The face is cut into stainless steel, which does not rust; the gold finish lasts longest away from perfume and chlorine, and a wipe with the microfiber cloth keeps the features clean.
Is it a good Lent or Easter gift?
Yes. It suits someone who prays the Stations of the Cross, since the face of Christ in his suffering is at the heart of that devotion.
Jesus face necklace
There are days when a sign is not enough and you want a face, someone looking back at you. Christians have a whole devotion to that, the Holy Face, meditating on Christ's suffering. The Holy Visage cuts the face of Christ into the crossing of the beams, in silver or gold finish. If you are drawn to an open welcome instead, the Reverent Silhouette shows a figure with open arms below the name of Jesus, though it is an outline and not a face. More: Catholic Necklaces.
Cross pendant gold for men with Jesus on it
More than a sign: a face. Some people pray better when they have someone to look at. The Holy Visage cuts the face of Christ into the crossing of the beams, recalling the old devotion to the Holy Face, 30 x 50 mm, gold-tone stainless steel on a 60 cm box chain. The Sacred Figure is the traditional crucifix, with a raised figure, sold as a pendant only. A line for the morning, from Psalm 27:8: Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
Someone at my new parish invited me to pray the Stations of the Cross on Friday and I've never done that. I've only been back in church a few months. What is it and would I be out of place?
You won't be out of place. People kneel and stand a little out of sync at every Stations, and you can simply follow the booklet. You walk with Jesus through fourteen moments from his condemnation to the tomb, and at each one the group says: We adore thee, O Christ, and we bless thee, because by thy holy cross thou hast redeemed the world. It's a good place for someone who's been away, because it asks you to look and stay. The Holy Visage holds the face of Christ at the heart of the cross. More than a sign, a face. Hold it at the station that stops you, and stay there a while.

Seine Bedeutung
The face of Christ in the cross
Most crosses show either nothing or the whole body of Jesus.
This one shows his face, an image with a long place in Christian prayer. The sixth Station of the Cross recalls the tradition of Veronica, who wiped the face of Jesus on the road to Calvary, and later devotion to the Holy Face grew out of meditation on that moment. Catholic and Orthodox Christians both keep images of the face of Christ and look at them as a way into prayer. Here the face is framed by the open lines of a cross, so...
Als Geschenk
A thoughtful Easter gift for someone who prays the Stations of the Cross during Lent. It also suits a young man or woman at confirmation who wants more than a plain cross.
