Hey /x/ I don't usually go to this board so I don't know if this is the place to ask but I recently helped my Catholic Mother redo her bathroom and she always had this cross (pic is cross) hanging from the light fixture and I remember seeing that it looked a little different from most crosses (i.e. The slant on the top of the cross and the words written on it) since we were remodeling we had to take it down and I wanted to find out where it came from and why it has the slant, so would you guys help me out by identifying it?
wording seems to be "nueva" = "new" (i think)
maybe it is broken? wooden crosses usually do split somewhere, but mainly along the grain.
Perhaps a part of it chipped off the top, and more was removed to make it neater?
by the way, your photo is shitty.
how about closer, and more shots of the top part from different angles? less flash might help make out the vertical lettering
OP here, I took a better picture without the flash so maybe you guys could find out what the longer word says

The writing is ineligible, but it looks like it was hand made and that the slant on top was clearly intentional, but the other tips are not as sharp.
The only other cross I could think of with a slanted top is the methodist cross.

I remember crosses like this being called "pieces of the true cross", don't know if that helps.
Here's another picture, it doesn't look like the top part snapped off, the cut is too clean to be broken, it looks like it was made like that

OP here, I tried googling pieces of true cross but nothing with the odd slant showed up, so that may not be it

damn OP, you never used a camera or something? get closer than that. Jesus.

Hispanic?
Pretty sure the small word is "nueva" or "nuevo" in spanish--new

Yeah Hispanic, my mother is Colombian
vertical lettering = resurecion?
i dunno tho, need to get closer than that if you want answers OP, in life, and in this thread.

Follow-up: the big word looks to be e***c/g-ion. I'm pretty sure that's just a cheap souvenir cross that's warped and chipped over time
