That is the St. Francis cross, isn’t it? I was given one of those for graduation by the nuns at Cardinal Stritch University. The nuns laminated a photograph of the cross onto very thin (1/8”) plywood and cut them out with a saw. Then they applied a loop and a silk ribbon on them. They gave those to every student who attended the baccelaureate Mass before graduation. Sad to say, they did not have to give out very many. Most of the class skipped Mass.

Anyhow, I treasure my St. Francis cross.
