King Charles III's coronation cross will include two shards of wood gifted from the Pope for the occasion believed by the Church to be from the cross used to crucify Jesus Christ.
The processional cross, which is known as the Cross of Wales, was formed from recycled silver bullion, Welsh slate and timber, and gifted to the monarch by the Church of Wales. There are also words from the last sermon of St David on the back in Welsh: "Byddwch lawen. Cadwch y ffydd. Gwnewch y Pethau Bychain." It translates to: "Be joyful. Keep the faith. Do the little things."
It was blessed by the Archbishop of Wales on Wednesday.
