The San Damiano Cross: story and meaning
Вставка

- A short video exploring the meaning and telling the story of the San Damiano cross, from which Jesus spoke to St Francis of Assisi. It's one of the world's most recognisable images of our crucified Lord, and a copy of it hangs above the altar in our own church. Here we find out why it's so important, and what the different images and symbols on the cross can teach us about our faith.
Had no idea of all this cross symbolizes. It means so much more to me. Hope many hear thus.
I am a protestant, and I'm interested in getting one of these. It looks beautiful
Unfortunately, other Protestants will give you so much grief if you do
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!
Thank you Fr Andrew very informative and elegantly expressed my family and I participate in your daily mass greetings from Australia.
This is what our soul needs. Edifying and inspiring.

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.

Outer Banks is what im here from
why is the cross off centre
But why is the Cross not central in the window?
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: ua-cam.com/video/jeDYR5VV8qo/v-deo.html
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.
