Cross With Worry Person Bookmark

Bring a splash of faith and fun into your home with this Cross Bookmark. Perched snugly inside the arms of the cross is a tiny handmade figure, a cheerful little guardian ready to listen to your troubles. Playful and comforting all at once, it’s a piece that brightens displays and can also be used as a handy bookmark! It can even add a quirky touch of faith-inspired charm to your Christmas tree.

The design draws on the tradition of Guatemalan worry people, tiny dolls that children whisper their fears to before placing them under a pillow at night. By morning, the worry people are said to have taken those troubles away, leaving the dreamer free of their burdens. Here, that much-loved folk belief is combined with the symbol of the cross, making it both meaningful and light-hearted.

Each piece is handmade under Fair Trade conditions, carefully carved and painted by skilled artisans. By choosing this cross you’re supporting their craft and helping to keep alive the folklore and artistry that make it so special.
