THE INSPIRATION
The passage of the Gospel ā€œBlessed are those who have not seen Ā and have believedā€John 20:29, as interpreted by ā€œCaravaggioā€ (1571 ā€“ 1610), gives life to a work symbolically representing the Holy Faith.

THE CRUCIFIX
Antiqued Gold plated finish.Ā On the front side features the four Evangelists, who narrated the Life and the Works of Jesus. On the back side the four Evangelists emblems and the ā€œChrist Pantocratorā€ in the center. ā€œWe did not follow cleverly Ā devised Ā myths when we Ā made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majestyā€ Peter 2:16 ā€œBut these are written that you may (come to) believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this beliefyou may have life in his nameā€ John 20:31

THE CENTERPIECE
Antiqued Gold plated finish.Ā The Ā picture ā€œThe Incredulity of Saint Thomasā€ (1600 ā€“ 1601) by Caravaggio sets the backdrop for the reproduction of the Holy Door of the Ā Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican, where its opening symbolizes the ā€œDoor of Faithā€ introducing to a Life in Communion with God, (ref. Acts 14:27), ā€œPorta Fideiā€ (Door of Faith) is the title of the Apostolic Letter by His Holiness Benedict XVI
