PROCESSIONAL CROSSES

THE VATICAN'S TAKE ON CROSSES DEMANDS THAT ONLY ONE IS TO BE PRESENTED WITHIN A SPACE OF A SANCTUARY. A PROCESSIONAL CROSS, HOWEVER, IS OFTEN TOO SMALL TO CARRY THAT SINGULAR POWER THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SPACE. BECAUSE OF THAT, JERZY S. KENAR WAS THE FIRST TO INVENT, AND TO HOLD THE COPYRIGHTS TO THE IDEA AND DESIGN OF A "BACKGROUND CROSS".

A BACKGROUND CROSS IS TO BE PRESENTED WITH 3 OTHER UNIQUE TO THE LITURGICAL SEASON CROSSES - SUCH AS A CRUCIFIX, LENT PERIOD, AND RESURRECTION CROSS; EACH OF THE CROSSES BEING INTERCHANGEABLE, AT CONSEQUENCE TO THE PARTICULAR TIME. THE MAIN BACKGROUND CROSS IS OFTEN THE MOST STURDY, THUS ACTING AS A FRAME, HOLDER, AND AN AMPLIFIER TO THE ADDITIONAL INTERCHANGEABLE CROSSES - SUCH AS THE PROCESSIONAL CROSS - LIGHT ENOUGH, SO THAT IT CAN BE CARRIED IN PROCESSION WITHOUT AN EXTRAORDINARY EFFORT.
