Precious Moments Bible & Praying Boy Cross Set 1980s Illustrated Keepsake Bible with Pewter Finish Wall Cross First Communion

This vintage Precious Moments Bible and praying boy wall cross set from the 1980s pairs an illustrated family keepsake Bible with a pewter finish hanging cross for Christian home display or gift giving.

Sold together as shown, this matching set brings together two faith inspired pieces that were often given for baptisms, First Communion, or other important milestones.

The Bible features the familiar Precious Moments artwork throughout, while the wall cross displays a kneeling praying boy in a pewter finish. It works well as a memory piece, nursery decoration, or addition to a Precious Moments collection.
