Descripción

Nativity cross with Bethlehem stone This Nativity Cross is a form of Glory Cross. It is voided in a botonée form, similar to the cross at top the spire of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, about five miles south of Jerusalem. The Nativity Cross is adorned with a star, which mimics the silver Nativity Star that can be seen in a limestone grotto beneath the Church of the Nativity, in the center of the Star there is a stone from Bethlehem. The star has 14 rays, which represent the 14 generations from Abraham to David, the 14 generations from David to the exile of Babylon and the 14 generations from the exile of Babylon to Jesus' birth. The cross symbolises Jesus Crucifixion, so in this one symbol, we have the ancestry, birth and death of Jesus
