Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 20".
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 2" more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 3.4" long: count how many fit along your strip.

How to wear it
The crucifix measures 43 x 28 mm and comes on a 20 in chain, about 50 cm, so it falls on the upper chest. That length gives a medium cross room to hang flat over a T-shirt or under an open collar, and at 10 g with the chain it stays comfortable all day.
The pendant is plated metal, so take it off before a shower, a swim or the gym, and put it on after perfume. Silver tone suits a dark suit or a white shirt; gold tone stands out more. It is a classic gift for a confirmation, an older child's First Communion or Easter.
Questions
What makes The Calvary Crucifix a traditional crucifix?
The figure of Christ under the INRI plaque, rays of glory behind the crossing and flowered ends on each arm, all classic Catholic details.
Do Protestants wear a crucifix like The Calvary Crucifix?
Some do. Crucifixes are most common among Catholics, Orthodox and Lutherans; many other Protestants prefer an empty cross, but nothing forbids wearing one.
Where does the 43 x 28 mm Calvary Crucifix fall on its 20 in chain?
On the upper chest. The chain is 20 in (about 50 cm), long enough to show the figure of Christ over a shirt.
Is The Calvary Crucifix plated or solid metal throughout?
Plated. It is metal with a silver-tone or gold-tone electroplated finish, about 10 g with the chain.
Will the electroplated finish of The Calvary Crucifix wear with sweat?
It can wear with water, sweat and perfume. Take the crucifix off before a shower or sport and wipe it with a soft dry cloth to keep the shine.
Is The Calvary Crucifix big enough for a teenage boy?
Yes. At 43 x 28 mm it is a medium size with a clearly detailed figure of Christ, and the 50 cm chain suits a teenager or an adult.
The prayer
Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within Thy wounds hide me. Suffer me not to be separated from Thee. From the malicious enemy defend me. In the hour of my death call me, and bid me come unto Thee, that with Thy saints I may praise Thee forever and ever. Amen.
Anima Christi, a fourteenth-century prayer later cherished by Saint Ignatius of Loyola

Its meaning
Christ crucified
The crucifix shows Christ on the cross, the image of the Passion at the center of Catholic prayer. Where a plain cross recalls the faith, the crucifix keeps the body of Christ in view, given for the world. The plaque above him reads INRI, the Latin initials of Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, the title Pilate had fixed to the cross (John 19:19). The rosary begins on the crucifix, and the rays behind the crossing are a traditional sign of glory. This 43 x 28 mm pendant, with flowered ends on each arm,...
Giving it as a gift
For a confirmation, the first communion of an older child, or Easter. A traditional crucifix for anyone who wants the figure of Christ close to the heart, every day.
