This polished Sterling Silver Franciscan Tau Cross features a 1 1/8 inch tau cross. Due in large part to St. Francis of Assisi’s affection for and devotion to the Tau, it has been a well recognized and accepted Franciscan symbol. It remains so today. The Tau carries with it all of the symbolism of the Cross of Christ as well as Francis' ideal of life and dream for himself and his followers. The Tau is designated as the distinctive sign of the Secular Franciscan Order in the United States.
