This bronze cross reads:
I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
It measures approximately 4 1/2 inches tall by 3 1/2 inches wide. It has an integral hook on the back.
The Risen Christ commissions the Apostles to baptize believers in Matthew 28:18-20:
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth
has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And
surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
