This inspiring mosaic cross integrates three images of the Holy Eucharist, two images of the Sacred Heart, and two images of the Holy Spirit from vintage holy cards. Each precious image is outlined and embellished with red and gold-tone gems, crosses, crucifixes and other mixed media treasures. The cross celebrates a young boy's First Holy Communion. The centerpiece of the cross is the soaring image of a dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit, infusing the soul of the communicant. This piece would be wonderful to gift as a sacramental remembrance. "Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created and you shall renew the face of the earth."
The cross measures 10" by 7 1/4" by 1/2" deep and is designed as a wall cross with a metal hanger attached. The metal cross base is painted on the sides and the back is white. It is signed on the back by the artist.
The cross is created by Julie Wishmeyer, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Art Institute of Chicago. "I am fascinated with minute detail, daring expression and bold design. My functional art is an assemblage of treasures that truly transform the objects they adorn into something extraordinary."
