Description of the Pardon Crucifix

On the Front of the Pardon Crucifix, above the corpus, are the words “Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum. ”  The English translation is “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”

On the back of the cross is the Sacred Heart and two inscriptions. The first on the horizontal portion is the prayer of pardon which gives this crucifix its name, "Father, forgive them". On the vertical portion of the back are the words spoken by Jesus to St. Margaret Mary in 1675, "Behold this Heart which has so loved men".   At the foot of the cross, also on the back, is the symbol of Mary.  

Indulgences of the Pardon Crucifix
