Well, this is all I could find:

"The Dagmar Cross symbolizes to us our calling."

In memory of the dead queen and her baby, the Dagmar Cross has been given ever since to all Danish baby girls, wishing them a long and prosperous life. To make such wishes come true the cross must be given away, normally in connection with the first communion, by the owner, to someone less fortunate in life than herself.

As it turns out, Queen Dagmar was buried in the Cathedral of Ribe. [The Cathedral of Ribe] is framed by an inscription which reads [in translation] "St. Mary, Joseph, Chist the Crucified, Nichodemus, St. John - The king dies, she weapes, the beloved moarnes, the guilty prays"

I leave the analysis as an intellectual exercise, besides I did all the work of finding the information! :P

Dagmarkorset er et s�kaldt relikviekors formodentlig af Byzantinsk oprindelse. Det blev indbragt til Det Kongelige Kunstkammer (som senere blev til Nationalmuseet) i 1695 og blev opf�rt som fundet i St. Bendts kirke i Ringsted. Angiveligt skulle det have tilh�rt Dronning Dagmar, en b�hmisk prisesse, gift med Valdemar Sejr.

I 1863 lod Kong Frederik VII en kopi udf�re som brudegave til sin datter, Prinsesse Alexandra ved hendes bryllup med Prinsen af Wales(King Edward VII). Siden da er utallige kopier af korset udg�et fra danske guldsmede som gaver til d�b, bryllup og konfirmation.

I've tried online translators but no luck so far, they don't translate this - not that I even recognize the language...

That went produced to That Royal Kunstkammer ( that after stayed till Nationalmuseet ) to 1695 and went behaved that fundet to St. Bendts church to Ringsted.
