Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I was given last year this crucifix, from a friend who had been to his homeland Poland, for a holiday:



It is made of thick leather and has, I think, a byzantine image on it. I have a friend who received from Aid to the Church in Need, a square leather image of Our Lord, made in a similar manner.

What is this called? I would like to do an internet search, to find a company that may sell this sort of thing but I don't know what to put in the search engine - I tried 'catholic stamped leather' but nothing. Is there a special name for this?

Thank you and God Bless, Anne

I think you are right about the Byzantine imagery on it. I bet Katherine will know. I'm part Polish but I have never seen anything like this before.
