The cross' thematic colors are red and black. Red, the color of Christ's blood which he shed for us, symbolizes God's love. Black is the color of death. The San Damiano Cross is quite suitable as an aid to meditative prayer. As an icon of the paschal mystery of Christ, a visual reminder of the tenets of our faith, it has the power to reinforce our faith and thus help repair God's Church today, as Saint Francis did centuries ago. May Christ on the cross speak to you as he did to St. Francis so many years ago.
