Mexican crosses
The cross is a very important icon in the religious life of Mexico. Since the 16th century, when Spaniards colonized Mexico the dominant religion is Catholicism, which is followed by about 80% of Mexicans. Nearly 11% of Mexicans are Protestant, and nearly 6% do not profess any God. Mexicans are a very religious nation and symbols of religion can often be found in the everyday life of Mexican people. Icons in the shape of a cross can be simple, ascetic or richly decorated with floral elements. The colors of the crosses are mostly from Aztec tradition and later Talavera style, they are blue, green, yellow, red and black. Crosses can be completely plain as well as decorated with ornamentation referring to Mayan and Aztec culture characterized by geometric, intricate patterns.
Mexican crosses, manufactured by Mixtec
Figurines of crosses are usually produced in an artisanal way, referring to the Mixtec style, which is known from pre-colonial times. Mixtec ceramic products come from the region of La Puerta de la Mixteca and are generally made by artists who come from a single family, the Castillo. The crosses are marked with a signature that guarantees handmade by a Mexican artisan. Each icon is an individual, unique product, so valued and sought after by collectors around the world.
