Christening Blessings and Verses

16 Cross Designs

Choose one of our 16 cross designs below. Type the design number in the text field for the side you want, together with your text. For example, "Cross 7 – Michael" engraves cross number 7 with the name Michael. A cross and your text fit together on the same side.

Prefer another faith design? Upload your own image in the image field for that side.

Handwriting Engraving

Write a blessing for the baby in your own hand. One day he will read it in the handwriting of the people who loved him first. We engrave it exactly as you write it.

1. Write your message on blank (unlined) paper with a pen.
2. Take a clear, well-lit photo of it.
3. Upload the photo in the image field for the side you want engraved.

How the Compass Works

This is a mechanical magnetic compass. Release the side lock and the red needle points North. Line it up with the N on the dial to find East, South and West. Lock the needle when not in use to protect it.
