Crucifix- rare and amazing story
I obtained this crucifix from Fr. John because of its
sublime beauty and the Lords Sacred Heart is
external and because of the deeper meaning
of the unusual story that came with it.
The story of the Crucifix as told to me by him is this:
A German soldier bought a Crucifix just like this
during the War. It is a wooden Crucifix that
measures 13 inches wide and 24 inches long.
He showed it to his mother and told her the
great amount of money he spend on it.
His mother complained that she could have used the money
for sewing supplies, or for cooking needs, or for hand tools
for the garden. The next day she woke up and saw that
the Lord had punished her.
The soldier told the maker of the Crucifix what happened:
where upon he made 11 more. This is one of the 11 Crucifixes.
The deeper meaning of the story you can now ascertain
which is no amount of money spent on God is never too much.
This is a $375.00 Crucifix that is being let go for a donation of $175.00.
