Handcrafted in the USA by Bliss Manufacturing, a family-owned company serving the Catholic community since 1917, this necklace represents four generations of religious jewelry craftsmanship.

The Meaning of the Tau Cross
The Tau cross holds profound significance in Catholic tradition. St. Francis of Assisi used this ancient symbol as his personal signature, seeing in its simple T-shape both the Old Testament sign of salvation and the cross of Christ. It represents redemption, conversion, humility, and the call to radical gospel living. This necklace makes a thoughtful gift for Confirmation, First Communion, RCIA completion, Franciscan tertiaries, or anyone drawn to the Franciscan charism of simplicity, poverty, and loving service to God's creation.
