The Bishop Crosiers originated with the abbots of monasteries in the East, who had under their administration large solitary communities and held a rod as support during long sequences. Over the centuries, the Despotic Rod has become a symbol of their administrative and pastoral power.
Originally, these rods were made of plain wood, but eventually, valuable materials were used.
Today, the Bishop Crosiers are made of metal, with their ends turned upwards and ending in twin snakes.
Our collection includes unique designs of Bishop Crosiers that are gilded and specially processed to ensure they do not lose their shine.
