Is the 15 g Holy Visage pendant comfortable on its 60 cm box chain?

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?

Is it a good Lent or Easter gift?

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.
