Acclaim for The Cross:

"Of all the world's great religious symbols, the Cross is the most widespread and the most enduring. This beautiful book celebrates it in all its countless varieties, as perhaps it has never been celebrated before."
John Julius Norwich, 
Chairman of Venice in Peril (1971-2000), Chairman of Serenissima Travel (1972-1987)

"The Cross has been an inspiration to millions for over two thousand years and continues to be so today. This book by Serena Fass explores some of the many ways in which the Cross has been seen and recorded. When times are good, or bad, the symbol of the Cross guides us and gives us hope. The one thing that unites us, under which we can all stand, is surely the Sign of the Cross."

Field Marshal the Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank, 
President of the Army Benevolent Fund
"This is a wonderful book. These images, gathered in one place, are an unique experience for the believer and non-believer alike. They are extraordinary artistic representations of great beauty from all over the world. Serena Fass's passion to follow her path is palpable as you turn the pages."

David Verey, 
Chairman of the Tate Gallery Trustees (1998-2004), Chairman of the Art Fund (2004- )
