Templar Cross – Obsidian – Crusaders' Heritage – Sacred...

Collier Croix des Templiers – Obsidienne – Héritage des Croisés – Chevalerie Sacrée. A necklace in obsidian bearing the great cross of the Templars marked with the seal of the Knights of Christ, an emblem of bravery forged to raise a protective barrier against all adversity. At the beginning of the XIIth century, on the perilous roads of the Holy Land where ambushes and raiders lurk, a handful of knights vowed to devote their lives to defending travelers and the most vulnerable. Under the leadership of Hugues de Payns was born the Order of the Temple, a brotherhood of monk-knights whose iron discipline and valor forged one of the most respected legends of medieval Western Europe. In the heart of this cross stands the emblem of the Order’s authority: the circle bearing the Latin inscription Sigillum Militum Xpisti, the sacred seal of the Knights of Christ. At its center shines the red pattee cross, a banner granted by the papacy to seal courage in battle and fidelity to duty. The medieval interlaces that adorn each arm weave the continuity of a vow that time and trial cannot alter. Wearing this cross of honor is to assume the rigor and determination of sacred chivalry: a fortress of justice and moral rectitude to face the world’s challenges and repel any hostility.

History & Secrets of the Symbol: The Order of the Temple and the Sigillum Militum Christi Founded in 1119 in Jerusalem, the Order of the Poor Knights of Christ’s mission was first to secure sacred routes. The Latin motto Sigillum Militum Xpisti authenticated official acts and the banners of commanderies, becoming the historical testimony of a protective vocation without compromise. The Red Pattée Cross: The Banner of Devotion Granted to the Templars in 1147 by Pope Eugene III, the red cross with flared arms was worn on white tunics as a sign of total bravery. In Christian and chivalric symbolism, this mark recalls the strength of soul needed to defend justice and triumph over oppression. The Sacred Interlaces: The Knot of Brotherhood and Constancy The interlace motifs engraved on the cross’s arms are inspired by medieval sacred arts. Without beginning or end, these continuous knots represent unwavering solidarity among brothers-in-arms, perseverance in the face of obstacles, and vigilance that never wavers. The Obsidian: The Mineral Shield and Spiritual Defense Recognized in protection traditions as a major defensive stone, obsidian acts as a barrier against negative influences, envy, and heavy atmospheres.
