Centimetri (CM)	Inches (IN)

This small crucifix encapsulates the artistic heritage of Val Gardena in a few centimeters of sacred art. Handcrafted, it captures the essence of devotion through a sculpture of the Corpus Christi of extraordinary emotional intensity.

Observing the figure, one perceives the warm and deep shades of brown which, thanks to a matte and slightly porous finish, enhance every detail. Light caresses the raised areas, such as the defined musculature and the folds of the loincloth, while shadows lend drama to the bowed face, crowned with thorns, which expresses a suffering composure.

Artisanal Specifications: Given its compact size (available in 3 cm and 5 cm sizes), this crucifix is entirely carved from Maple Wood, the material favored by Val Gardena artisans for precision works. The wood is masterfully colored to achieve the vibrant earthy hues that lend the piece a deep spiritual resonance. Perfect as a central element for your rosary or as a precious symbol of faith.

The Dolfi Crucifix, part of the collection of antique crucifixes from Ortisei, presents the following elements:
1. Iconographic and symbolic elements:
Crocifisso: The representation of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Legno: The natural and traditional material.
Per rosario: Indicates its function as a complement to prayer.
Dolfi / Ortisei: Reference to the artistic craftsmanship of Val Gardena.
2. Religious meaning:
Crocifisso: Central symbol of Christianity, represents Christ's sacrifice for the redemption of humanity and victory over death. It is a reminder of the Passion and Resurrection.
Legno: Evokes humility, naturalness and tradition. Often associated with the tree of life and the cross itself, which was made of wood.
Per rosario: Its function directly links it to the Marian prayer of the Rosary, an instrument of meditation on the mysteries of the life of Christ and Mary.
Dolfi / Ortisei: Although not directly symbolic in a religious sense, the reference to the craftsmanship of Ortisei underlines the devotion and artistic mastery that for centuries have been dedicated to the creation of sacred objects, conferring an added value of authenticity and tradition.

The Crucifix, a universal symbol of the Christian faith, is not associated with a single specific saint, but represents the central figure of Christianity: Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross for the redemption of humanity. Its history and veneration are rooted in the Gospel narrative of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ.

Crucifixion, an ancient form of Roman execution, became for Christians the distinctive sign of divine love and victory over death. From the earliest centuries, Christians venerated the cross as an instrument of salvation, although early representations were often symbolic (such as the fish or anchor) to avoid persecution. With the Edict of Milan (313 AD) and the subsequent legalization of Christianity, the cross became an openly venerated symbol.

The veneration of the Crucifix manifests itself in many forms: from personal prayer before it, to participation in liturgical rites such as the Via Crucis, which traces the stages of the Passion. The Crucifix is present in every church, in every Christian home, around the necks of many faithful, constantly recalling the sacrifice of Christ and inviting reflection on the values of love, forgiveness and redemption. It is the heart of faith, a visible reminder of the promise of eternal life and hope in the resurrection.
