St. Anselm Necklace

Why a Canterbury Cross?

St. Anselm became Archbishop of Canterbury in the 11th century, after entering the monastic life at age 27, becoming prior at age 30, then becoming abbot 15 year later, studying and writing much about theology and scripture, and growing in popularity and renown. As archbishop, he and two kings failed to agree about reforming the Church and other issues, so he spent several years in voluntary exile.
