Standing San Damiano Crucifix in cold cast bronze. From Veronese Collection. Hand-crafted in Italy. Size: 7″ x 14″
The San Damiano Crucifix is the large Romanesque style rood cross before which Saint Francis of Assisi was praying when he is said to have received the commission from the Lord to rebuild the Church. It now hangs in the Basilica of Saint Clare (Basilica di Santa Chiara) in Assisi, Italy, with a replica in its original position in the church of San Damiano nearby.
