St. Agatha/St. Agata of Catania
Byron Mckeown-Sedona, AZ
Sterling silver 3”x3”
Catania, Sicily, Italy
A great holiday gift idea from Isadora. Historically, the city of Catania, Sicily has been reborn from the ashes of every eruption of the volcano Etna. Most believe that is because Saint Agata (Saint Agatha), their patron saint, watches over them. On the 4th and 5th of February, during the festival of Saint Agata her image rides through the city on her silver fercolo. THis cross was inspired by the beautiful crown she wears in that procession This cross comes with a historical information card. A collection of crosses created by Byron and Deanne McKeown, created from their historical research on crosses and rosaries worldwide. Cast in sterling silver, gold, vermeil, semi-precious and precious stones, these designs are exclusive to the McKeown Galleries.
