Gold-Tone "Hostage Cross"
Gold-Tone "Hostage Cross"
Our Price: $3.50

The "Hostage Cross" is called such because it was the one seen worn by Kathryn "Kate" Koob during Easter services at the American Embassy in Iran.  Kate was one of two women hostages being held there during the Crisis of 1979.

This cross, a symbol of faith and devotion, was a gift from the congregation of Messiah Lutheran Church in Alexandria, Virginia, where Kate and her sister at one time attended services.

Sent to Kate at the beginning of the Lenton Season, it was not known if she had received the cross until film clips broadcast on national television confirm that she was indeed wearing it.  At that point the State Department also knew that mail was being received by the hostages.

Kate's congregation wanted to witness the faith and support to her and all the hostages, but Kate became a greater witness by openly wearing the cross and showing her faith was still strong.

Originally called the Trumpet Cross, it was designed to symbolize the Easter Story, and intended as a Lenton symbol of devotion to be used by church groups.  Kate's showing it to the world in 1979 leads us to offer it to the world that all may share with her the powerful message of Christian Faith.

On one side of the cross, the four points represent the "nails" used in the Crucifixion of Christ.  The symbol at the center is a representation of the round tombstone used in Biblical times.

On the reverse side, the "nails" become trumpets heralding the Joy of His Vistory.  They announce - as emblazoned on the trumpets - that God's Love gives us Peace and that all should walk in that Faith and Hope!

The cross is a universal reminder that Christ died for all people, for hostages and captors, for families and for nations.  We do not need a divided world, but the Promised one in which all live in harmony.

The Hostage, or Trumpet, Cross is not as materially strong as our other offerings, although in these times it remains as strong spiritually as ever.

"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast..." (Hebrews 6:19)
The anchor was a common figure for hope in the ancient world; here it especially reminds us that we are anchored to something firm, something to hold onto in times of trouble. Unseen, our God anchors us, does not hold us down, but secures us in hope which is the ultimate expression of freedom.

This cross depicts God's all-encompassing hands protecting us. The other side of the cross says "Into thy hands..." marking our relationship in Him and our giving our selves to His Grace, just as Christ said on the Cross.

Reconciliation Cross, Silver-Tone, Large
Reconciliation Cross, Silver-Tone, Large
Our Price: $6.00

“Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” (2 Corinthians 5:18 and 19)

The Apostle Paul believed that we are never to consider ministry as “our own.” In his second letter to the Corinthians, he reminds his readers that, through Christian faith, all are part of a new creation. We are a radically transformed order where Christ’s love, instituted through the cross, governs all perception and every action. The “ministry of reconciliation” is to be understood as that for which Christ’s love claims the whole believing community, and the “word” of reconciliation is the Gospel itself: God’s saving power made present through the cross.

“Reconciliation” emblazoned on the crossbars can embrace anyone, anywhere, and anytime.
This cross is larger than usual and intended for wear by clergy that it may be readily and easily seen from a distance.

3/4 oz. weight; 2-5/16" high x 1-3/4" wide x 1/8" thick
