Highly revered and beloved by the Mexican people, the Virgin of Guadalupe inspires Ana Maria Gonzalez to create a collection of decoupage crosses in her honor. In 1999, Pope John Paul II named Our Lady of Guadalupe patron saint of the Americas, and she is celebrated on December 12. Her well-known image miraculously appeared on the Saint Juan Diego's robe, where he was carrying Castilian roses as proof of her appearance to him. Guadalupe sent him to the Spanish bishop to convince him to a build a church in her honor. For this cross, Gonzalez selects the banner that proclaims her as Reina de Mexico y Emperatriz de las Americas, (Queen of Mexico and Empress of the Americas).

With amazing openwork that depicts the sun's warm rays within, this Guatemalan wall cross makes an excellent addition to any home. Artisan Byron Toscano draws inspiration from his Christian faith, working with local artisans to craft the cross from iron with a black finish.

For a lovely and inspiring addition to your home decor, this wall cross is created by Balinese artisan Sarwaedi. He works in natural suar wood, diligently carving the cross by hand. It features lotus flower motifs and elegant openwork that is achieved with great attention to detail. The cross receives a distressed black finish for the look of a treasured antique.

Transform your space with a touch of artistic flair thanks to this extraordinary cross wall art from Alejandro de Esesarte. The Mexican artisan infuses exquisite details into the fabulous steel decorative accent, bringing unique warmth and character to any room. It is skillfully painted by hand in stunning shades of blue and pink with a crackled finish and is complete with intricate openwork, making it a cherished addition to your home decor.

Colonial style crosses are a common decorative element in traditional Mexican homes. Jalisco-based Mexican artisan Margarita Revilla takes inspiration from the country's colonial past to create this rustic version. She works in aluminum repoussé to create a floral pattern accented with amber-colored crystals.
