Making the Sign of the Cross

A resource that gives practical ideas for reflection and study based on the central Christian symbol - the cross - an endlessly rich theme against which to explore individual stories and experiences. Includes a CD-ROM with instructions for making hand held crosses and colour images of crosses worldwide.

---

This illustrated workbook arises out of many years of leading retreats, study and quiet days on the theme of the cross in many contexts from an English Cathedral city to a South African township. The symbol of suffering and sacrifice, the cross also stands for the triumph of love over hate, life over death, hope over despair.

This includes complete outlines with prayers, readings, guided meditations and instructions for making crosses on the following themes: Crosses from around the world, Holy People, Holy Places & Crosses: Bridget, Francis, Andrew and others, Good Friday Pilgrims: living the cross, Making Crosses: yours and mine, Meditating with Crosses, and Following The Way of the Cross.
