Prayer Cross

Free shipping in the US

Prayer crosses, also called holding crosses or comfort crosses, are small, handheld wooden crosses designed to be held in the palm during prayer, meditation, or times of stress. They serve as a tangible, tactile reminder of faith, Christ’s sacrifice and God’s presence.

Crafted from beautiful zebrawood, this smooth, palm-sized prayer cross is designed to rest comfortably in your hand as a quiet companion in prayer. Each piece is uniquely grained—no two are exactly alike—reflecting the natural beauty of the zebrawood. Hold it during moments of anxiety, illness, gratitude, or simple daily devotion. The gentle weight and rounded edges make it easy to carry in a pocket, purse, or bedside drawer, offering a physical anchor when words are hard to find. Simply holding the cross can become a wordless prayer, connecting you to the strength and love of Christ.

They are a thoughtful gift and are popular for baptisms, confirmations, first communions, sympathy, and encouragement during illness or hardship.

Sanded smooth to 2000 grit and finished with a food-safe oil. Each one arrives in a red gift box lined with white cotton, ready to give. Each Prayer Cross comes with a printed card explaining what prayer crosses are (shown in the photos).
