Early Society Cross 01
Front of early society cross. Cornelia first designed this cross for use when the Rule was eventually approved. It was shown to Pius IX when she was in Rome in 1869 working on the ill-fated revision of the Rule. Apparently Pius IX thought it was too ornate for simple religious to wear and so Cornelia simplified it while she was convalescing in Hyeres during the winter 1969-70. Thus, this cross was never worn by anyone, and probably is the only one in existence. Cornelia never even wore the simplified cross in spite of the doctored photos of her that hung in our schools and communities for so long! Only after the approbation in 1887 do early photos show the finally professed wearing them, plus the plain one for the Lay Sisters. Click here to see back of cross. |
