Bronze Tau pendant

The Tau: an ancient sign of salvation and Franciscan spirituality

The Tau represents one of the most meaningful symbols in the entire Christian tradition. As the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, it is mentioned in the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel as the seal placed on the foreheads of the faithful to protect them from evil. Centuries later, Saint Francis of Assisi chose it as his personal emblem, a sign of Christ's cross, the dignity of God's children, and the commitment to live in evangelical poverty and peace. Wearing the Tau pendant around one's neck means reaffirming one's belonging to Christ and placing oneself under His constant protection.

Artisanal quality of the Custodi Bronze line

Part of the exclusive Custodi Bronze collection curated by Editrice Shalom, this pendant is the result of meticulous 100% Made in Italy goldsmith craftsmanship. The essential, harmonious lines of the Franciscan cross enhance the warm, lasting brilliance of bronze, creating a sober and refined devotional jewel. The pendant is equipped with a sturdy bail (upper loop), designed to allow easy attachment to choker chains or cords.

A gift of grace and community for every occasion

Thanks to its universal significance, the bronze Tau pendant is an excellent choice both for personal devotion and as a community gift. It is particularly suitable for celebrating the Sacraments of Confirmation or First Communion, for youth meetings and catechetical groups, or as a sign of fraternity and goodwill to give to friends, laypeople, and religious.
