In 2 Minuten zu Hause messen
Sie brauchen einen Papierstreifen (oder eine Schnur bzw. einen Schnürsenkel), einen Stift und ein Lineal.
- Nehmen Sie eine Schnur oder einen Schnürsenkel und markieren Sie darauf die gewünschte Länge, zum Beispiel 50 cm.
- Halten Sie die beiden Markierungen im Nacken zusammen und tragen Sie dabei ein Oberteil, wie Sie es gewöhnlich tragen.
- Schauen Sie in den Spiegel: Am tiefsten Punkt der Schnur wird die Kette liegen.
- Zu hoch oder zu tief? Probieren Sie 5 cm mehr oder weniger: Das entspricht einer Größe größer oder kleiner.
Sie besitzen schon eine Kette, die Ihnen gefällt? Legen Sie sie mit geschlossenem Verschluss flach hin und messen Sie sie von Ende zu Ende. Bei breitem Hals oder breiter Brust sitzt jede Länge etwas höher.
Kein Lineal zur Hand? Eine Bankkarte ist 8,6 cm lang: Zählen Sie, wie oft sie auf Ihren Streifen passt.

So trägst du es
This small 35 x 18 mm crucifix weighs just 4.5 g; its fine chain is 40 cm long, plus a 5 cm extender. At 40 cm it sits at the base of the neck, and at 45 cm just below the collarbone, so it stays discreet under a collar or shows at an open neckline.
The stainless steel can be worn every day, in the shower and at the gym. Choose silver tone for a classic look or gold tone for warmth. It suits a confirmation, the first communion of an older child, Easter morning, or anyone who wants a crucifix they never take off.
Fragen
How big is the crucifix?
35 x 18 mm, and it weighs 4.5 g. It is small and light, made to sit close to the skin.
Can The Humble Crucifix be worn at the base of the neck?
Yes. The 40 cm (about 16 in) cable chain sits at the base of the neck, and the 5 cm extender lets it drop just below the collarbone.
Would a Lutheran or an Anglican wear The Humble Crucifix?
Yes. Crucifixes are most common among Catholics and Orthodox Christians, but Lutherans and Anglicans use them too.
Why does The Humble Crucifix show a simplified Christ?
It reduces the Passion to its essentials: a gentle, stylized figure under the INRI title rather than a detailed corpus. It is still a crucifix, not a plain cross.
Can The Humble Crucifix stay on day after day, shower included?
Yes. The pendant and chain are stainless steel, which does not rust or turn the skin green.
Does a crucifix need to be blessed?
No, but many Catholics like to have one blessed. It arrives unblessed; any priest or deacon can bless it, usually after Mass.
The prayer
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee, because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Traditional acclamation of the Stations of the Cross

Seine Bedeutung
The crucifix and the Passion
The crucifix shows Christ on the cross, keeping the Passion, and the love it reveals, in view. Above him is the plaque INRI, the initials of the Latin Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, the title Pilate had placed on the cross (John 19:19). Catholics pray before the crucifix during the Stations of the Cross, and many wear a small one as a daily reminder. This 35 x 18 mm stainless steel crucifix shows a simplified figure of Christ, its rounded arms carved with fine lines, in polished silver or...
