The Franciscan Tau, or Greek letter T is a concrete sign of Christian devotion, it is a sign of the commitment of one's life to following the poor and crucified Christ.  It is believed to offer powerful protection against evil and is meant to remind individuals that they must too be strong in times of trial, ready to obey the Father, and docile in submission, as Jesus was docile before the Father's will.  "Look at the crucifix and it will teach you everything..."  "God will know us by the sign of the Tau" Our Franciscan Tau symbol pin is hand cast in solid, lead-free pewter in our studio in Coventry, RI and then dipped in 22K gold.  Devote Christians, Friars, and history enthusiasts will all appreciate the attention to detail of these cross pins.  All of our lapel pins arrive packaged on our signature presentation card, making them ready for gift-giving!  Hosting an event, charity, or fundraising for your church?  Upgrade to our custom presentation card where you can include a logo, special message, or information about your organization on the front of the card.
