6” Olive Wood Tau Cross

Tau Wall Cross

6” High - Olive Wood

Handcrafted in Assisi, Olive Wood Tau Cross is a meaningful expression of Franciscan spirituality. Made from richly grained olive wood, each cross is carefully crafted by local artisans, giving every piece its own natural character and warmth.

The Tau cross, closely associated with St. Francis, is a timeless symbol of faith, peace, and humble devotion. Simple yet deeply symbolic, this cross is well suited for display in the home, prayer corner, or office, and makes a thoughtful gift for sacraments, milestones, or anyone drawn to the spirit of Assisi.

A beautiful reminder of faith shaped by tradition, craftsmanship, and the sacred land from which it comes.

The Tau is an ancient representation of the cross.  It is also the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet and is thought to be the sign with which Ezekiel marked those chosen by God (Ex 9:4). St. Francis loved the meaning of the Tau so much he signed his letters with this symbol.  When a Franciscan friar wears a habit and stands with his hands outstretched, he becomes a Tau, a living Tau.  The Tau is a distinctive Franciscan symbol.

Made in Assisi.
