When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Some eye-candy hand-picked from Parisian Street Society for your viewing pleasure:

Hanna Bernhard Baroque Cross Necklace

Vintage Christian Lacroix Cross Heart Brooch

Vintage 70s Christian Dior Pink & Jade Cabochon Cross Brooch

Dominique Aurientis Long Cross Necklace

Vintage Chanel Etruscan Cross Earrings

Vintage Christian Lacroix Cross Pendant featuring Flower & Butterfly

Vintage Chanel Etruscan Cross & Bell Brooch Pendant

Isn’t it interesting that the an executional device as crude and cruel as the crucifix would become the symbol of peace? How does it exude such unsurpassable style unless it really was transformed from being the ultimate method of condemnation to the emblem of miraculous resurrection?

Have a blessed weekend lovelies. I can’t wait to show you my posts next week!

[spoiler title=”中文版”] 你会不会觉得很奇怪为什么十字架，一个那么粗野并残忍的死刑具会变成和平的代表？为什么十字架那么有气派？除非它真的从处罪的刑法真的变成奇妙复活的象征。。。

祝你过个愉快的周末。我好期待下周快到能给你看我新写的博客！[/spoiler]
