The San Damiano Cross: story and meaning

[@shafur3]

Thank you Father for sharing.

[@johanneabelsen1644]

I love to have all the symbols explained, all the liturgy is revealed, all our sacred knowledge. ✝️📿🌹❤️

[@nancystrauss8744]

Had no idea of all this cross symbolizes. It means so much more to me. Hope many hear thus.

[@definitionhighguy]

I am a protestant, and I'm interested in getting one of these. It looks beautiful

[@sleepatterns]

Unfortunately, other Protestants will give you so much grief if you do

[@sleepatterns]

but it is beautiful and you should anyway

I embrace ALL of Christendom because there is ONE risen Lord Jesus. We believers in Jesus must unite!

Well it's Called The San Damiano Cross or Crucifix Because of The Church of San Damiano and how St. Francis of Assisi was Rebuilding the Church of San Damiano. Jesus: Francis Rebuild My Church.

But why is the Cross not central in the window?

[@stclareschurch7139]

Hi Patricia. The cross is central in the window - it looks off centre, because the camera is off centre so that people can use the main aisle. If you look at some of the videos from November, when the church was closed due to lockdown, the camera was placed in the aisle and it gives a better idea what the church really looks like. One example is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJanioVri7trp9E

[@patriciatester3736]

Thank you. I watch your sermons every day (used to go to church once a week, I now watch you every day, so something good came out of lockdown). You explain bible reading succinctly.

[@geraldmooney6461]

why is the cross off centre

[@johanneabelsen1644]

I think it's because of the angle, it's filmed from. 🤷‍♂️
