In the Mass of the Roman Rite and also in the Eucharist of the Anglican Communion, the Lutheran Church, and the Western Rite of the Orthodox Church the Agnus Dei is the invocation to the Lamb of God sung or recited during the fraction of the Host.

I have seen similar mid-century crosses made in Italy with the Soil of Mt Calvary inside clear plastic on the back of the cross. I don't know what your cross contains.
