We are proud to present "The Sacred Earth Cross". This special cross is cast and hand finished entirely out of sterling silver. It is designed to hold a removable glass vial that is filled with earth from the very place that Jesus Christ was crucified, buried and resurrected. This place is the current location of "The Church of the Holy Sepulcher" in the old city of Jerusalem. The Holy Sepulcher is considered by many to be the holiest place on earth.
The earth in each cross is from a small room located about 7 yards from the tomb of Jesus. This is the closest location to the tomb where earth can be obtained. The gathering of the earth was supervised by a bishop of the Church of The Holy Sepulcher and blessed upon the stone of Unction, which commemorates the location where the body of Jesus was anointed by The Virgin Mary after his death.
Within the walls of the church is Golgotha, the site of the crucifixion, and the Angel’s Chapel. Here is the stone that the Angel is said to have rolled away from the entrance to the tomb were Jesus was resurrected.
It was Emperor Constantine’s mother Helena who discovered the tomb of Christ on the site of a Roman temple to Aphrodite. Constantine later build the Church of the Holy Sepulcher over the tomb.
