Misuri a casa in 2 minuti
Le serviranno una striscia di carta (o uno spago, un laccio), una penna e un righello.
- Prenda uno spago o un laccio e segni la lunghezza che Le interessa, ad esempio 50 cm.
- Unisca i due segni dietro la nuca, indossando il tipo di maglia che porta di solito.
- Si guardi allo specchio: il punto più basso dello spago è dove cadrà la catena.
- Troppo alta o troppo bassa? Provi 5 cm in più o in meno: corrisponde a una taglia in più o in meno.
Ha già una catena che Le piace? La stenda in piano, con la chiusura chiusa, e la misuri da un'estremità all'altra. Con un collo o un torace larghi, ogni lunghezza cade un po' più in alto.
Niente righello? Una carta bancaria è lunga 8,6 cm: conti quante ne entrano lungo la striscia.

Come indossarlo
The cross measures 33 x 45 mm and hangs on a 50 cm box chain with a lobster clasp, so it rests on the upper chest. It is detailed enough to wear on top of a first communion outfit or a shirt, where the small symbols can be seen up close.
The polished stainless steel can be worn every day, including in the shower. For a young child, keep it for special days and supervised wear. It is made for a first communion, given by a godparent or grandparent, and also suits a confirmation or Easter for someone who never misses Mass.
Domande
What symbols are on the Eucharistic cross?
Seven: chalice, host, dove, grapes, wheat, Alpha and Omega, and Chi Rho, all signs linked to the Mass.
What does the Chi Rho mean?
It is a monogram made of the first two Greek letters of the word Christ, X (chi) and P (rho), used by Christians since the fourth century.
How big is the cross and how long is the chain?
The cross is 33 x 45 mm, on a 50 cm (about 20 in) box chain. It sits on the upper chest.
Is it a good first communion gift for a boy?
Yes. Its symbols of the Mass make it a direct reminder of the day, and the plain steel suits a boy as well as a girl.
Is a 50 cm chain too long for a child?
For a young child it hangs lower, around the middle of the chest. It can be worn on the day under supervision and then kept until the chain suits them.
What does the dove on the Eucharistic Cross stand for?
The Holy Spirit. At Mass the priest asks the Father to send the Spirit on the bread and wine, which is why the dove belongs beside the chalice and host.
Cross pendant necklace with a meaning explained, not just a fashion piece
Good instinct: a cross with a story is one you can explain when someone asks, and one you can pray with when nobody does. The Amazing Grace sets the words of John Newton's hymn crosswise, for a life changed by grace it did not earn. The Valiant Cross takes the shape of a sword with a small shield at the center, Saint Paul's armor of God from Ephesians 6. More: Crosses and Rosaries for Faith and Prayer.
What does the dove mean in Christianity?
The dove is the Holy Spirit, who came down on Jesus at his baptism in the Jordan, and it has also been the sign of peace since Noah's flood. That is why it comes up so often around confirmation, when a young person or an adult asks for that same Spirit. The Eucharistic Cross places the dove among the signs of the Eucharist. For a gift on that day, these are gathered here: Confirmation Gifts. On the card, a short prayer is enough: Come, Holy Spirit.
I made my First Communion at 45 last spring, way after everyone else I know. I still get emotional going up to receive. Is that normal?
It's more than normal. It's what the rest of us are supposed to feel and sometimes forget. You waited 45 years to walk up that aisle, and you know what you're walking toward. Keep that as long as God lets you, and don't worry on the days it goes quiet, because He is no less there then. The Eucharistic Cross gathers chalice and host, wheat and grapes, the dove and the Chi Rho on one cross. Touch it as you return to your pew and stay a moment in thanks. A traditional line for the moment: O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine.

Il suo significato
Seven signs of the Mass on one cross
Each sign on this cross points to the Eucharist.
The chalice and the host recall the Last Supper, where Jesus took bread and wine. Wheat and grapes are what that bread and wine are made from. The dove is the Holy Spirit, called down on the gifts at Mass. Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, echo Revelation 22:13, where Christ calls himself the beginning and the end. The Chi Rho joins the first two Greek letters of the name Christ. Polished stainless steel, on a box chain with a...
Da regalare
