History of the Day Marker

The Dagmark Cross was found in 1683 at Queen Dagmar's grave in St Bendt's Church near Ringsted. Queen Dagmar was King Valdemar Sejr's much loved, good and admired queen, who came from Bohemia and died in the early 13th century. Frederik VII gave a copy of the cross as a wedding present to Princess Alexandra, later Queen of England. Queen Dagmar's tomb is located near the altar in St Bendt's Church, and when a bride walks over the tomb, she often carries a copy of the Dagmar Cross. The original Dagmar Cross is in the National Museum and is a magnificent piece of goldsmith's work. On one side, with the image of Christ on the cross, it reads at the top in Greek letters "Jesus Christ". On the other side we see the Virgin Mary on the right of Christ, and on the left John the Baptist. Above and below Christ we see two saints - Basil at the top and John at the bottom.

Give the gift of a Dagmar Cross

A dagmar cross is the obvious gift idea for big events. A dagmar cross makes a great christening, confirmation or wedding gift, as it can bring back happy memories of the big and meaningful day. Giving a dagmar cross as either a Christening or Confirmation gift is also a piece of jewellery that the child or teenager will wear for an incredible number of years and carry with them into their adult years. The Day Marker Cross can be given as a pendant - this way the recipient can choose what kind of chain they want to use the jewellery with. It is also possible to buy the pendant and a chain from us. You can find our large selection of loose chains here, which can be combined with the Day Marker Set.
