Tau Cross Lapel Pin 1-1/8"

This Tau Cross lapel pin is inspired by the simple yet powerful symbol embraced by St. Francis of Assisi. Shaped like the Greek letter “T,” the Tau Cross has deep biblical roots in the Book of Ezekiel, where it was used as a sign of blessing and protection.

After the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 highlighted this ancient symbol of repentance and renewal, St. Francis adopted the Tau Cross as his personal sign. He used it to sign letters and mark places as a reminder of conversion, humility, and dedication to Christ.

Wearing the Tau Cross is a meaningful way to express faith and to remember the Franciscan values of peace, simplicity, and service to others. This lapel pin makes a thoughtful gift or a subtle daily reminder of a life rooted in compassion and spiritual renewal.
