HOLY SPIRIT CIRCLE PENDANT: The Round Holy Spirit Dove and Branch Pendant depicts the dove carrying an olive branch. This beautiful solid bronze pendant is a popular gift and a beautiful symbol reminding us of the Holy Spirit at work within each of us. It makes a beautiful ecumenical gift representing peace.

HOLY SPIRIT CROSS PENDANT: This solid bronze Holy Spirit Cross Pendant is a beautiful piece honoring the gift of the Holy Spirit and is one of our most popular Confirmation gifts. This pendant carries a timeless and beautiful design of a dove bearing an olive branch, which is also a timeless symbol of peace.  The cross also envokes a wealth of rich symbolic history of our faith: from God’s covenant with Noah, to the descent of the dove at Jesus’ baptism, to the symbol of the dove as the Holy Spirit.

A PERFECT GIFT FOR THOSE RECEIVING THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: Across the Christian world, confirmation is one of the most momentous occasions in a spiritual journey, a culmination of progress that began at baptism and the point at which the faithful, having attained the age of reason, can knowingly look to God and assent to His call.

Rooted in the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles at Pentecost, confirmation places us within the wisdom of the Holy Ghost. As James writes, “Wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” It is this wisdom (rather than simple knowledge) that will provide the confirmand with fuel for his or her entire life. By the power of the Holy Spirit, the animating force behind so much of Christian zeal and activity, the one is enveloped in all of the tradition, wisdom and love of the Christian community. This Confirmation Pendant makes the perfect gift, reminding the recipient both of his or her own confirmation and of the hallowed sacred power behind this sacrament.

A GIFT ROOTED IN SCRIPTURE: And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:1-4

ABOUT THE MONASTERY OF MARIA LAACH: For over 50 years Maria Laach has offered religious cards, icons, and bronzes of high quality. There are about 80 Monks, assisted by Lay people in the production of these works sold all over the world. The grounds of the Monastery are also a sign of their large agricultural business. Their more recent works include gates and garden art. Our visit in 2007 gave us an incredible sense of this very blessed community.
