Original remembrance Unity Cross from Schoenstatt's 100 Jubilee.  Pewter. Size: 1.5"

"The Unity Cross has become one of the most characteristic symbols of the Schoenstatt Movement.   The Unity Cross expresses the bi-unity that Schoenstatt wants to proclaim:  Christ is inseparable from Mary and Mary is inseparable from Christ.  

Christ and Mary have a unique posture:  they are alive and they are mutually looking at one another in a profound dialogue of Mother and Son.  The blood that Mary gathers with his chalice emanates from Christ’s side.  The fact that they are alive is not only symbolic; rather, it further makes a truth of faith evident:  On the cross, Christ and Mary, as well as in reality, are presently alive in a glorious body."
