St.Paul of the Cross wrote the rules of this Congregation in December 1720; and in 1725, Pope Benedict XIII granted Paul the permission to form his congregation. Paul and his brother, John Baptist, were ordained by the pope on the same occasion. The full canonical title of the congregation is The Congregation of Discalced Clerks of the Most Holy Cross and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In 1769, Clement XIV granted full rights to the Passionists as enjoyed by the other religious institutes, making them not an order but a congregation. This cross dates from the 1769 period, and is one of the earliest of the Passionist crosses outside of the order, and is from a private Catholic collection whose provenance we will provide to the winning bidder. The cross is 3 inches long, and made of Bronze, with a weight of 22 grams; the Patina is original.
