Description
The Mariner's Cross, also known as St. Clement's Cross & is a version of the Latin cross used in Christianity with a base shaped like an anchor. The Mariner's Cross has its origins in early Christianity & was found in ancient catacombs. It was used to signify hope or a fresh start. According to ancient sources, the cross was given the name Mariner's Cross because of the way St. Clement was martyred. During the reign of Emperor Trajan, St. Clement was tied by his neck to an anchor & then thrown into the Black Sea. He became known as the patron saint of sailors as they wear the cross to protect themselves from the dangers at sea. A great gift for any boater, sailor, pirate or viking!
