Work Continues on the Terazzo Crest
Over the past week, we here at Cristo Rey Jesuit have been witness to an incredible work of art, as our crest is being made out of terrazzo, and embedded in the entryway floor. Thanks to a generous donation from National Terrazzo, Tile, and Marble Inc., Cristo Rey Jesuit will have an exceptional, and beautiful showpiece for our entryway.
The photo above is the metal frame inset into the floor. This frame will be filled with different colors of Terrazzo, then sanded and polished. We here at Cristo Rey cannot wait to see the final product!
What is Terrazzo?
Terazzo is a mosaic flooring or paving composed of chips of broken stone, usually marble, and cement, polished when in place. - Dictionary.com

Will Cunningham on the Terazzo Crest
While the Terazzo Crest is still being set and poured, Will Cunningham, the man behind the design of the crest itself, wrote a fantastic blog posting about it:
The crest we designed for Cristo Rey Jesuit is being re-created as a 6' x 9' terrazzo inlay for the entry way floor of the new school. We couldn't be more thrilled! In today's world of Tweets, Facebook Friends and everything else, it's a very gratifying feeling to see your design set in such a permanent medium.
