The Holy Rood
"Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple"
- Luke 14:27, which is part of today's Gospel at Mass.
This medallion with Christ Crucified between Our Lady and St John is in the British Museum. It may have been used for personal devotions, as a reminder of our Saviour's love for us, and of our need to follow him by bearing our own Cross.
