This pocket-sized crucifix is 2 1/4 inches long, 1 3/8" wide and 1/4" deep (to the top of Jesus' crown). It comes in a clear plastic bag. It is highly indulgenced by Pope Pius X. "Whoever, at the moment of death, fortified with the sacraments of the church or at least contrite of heart in the supposition of being unable to receive them, will kiss this crucifix and ask pardon of God for his sins, and pardon his neighbor, will gain a PLENARY INDULGENCE." These are rust-free and can be hung above your windows and doors on the outside of your home as a protection against evil.
