Caravaca Crucifix

This amazing Caravaca crucifix is recast from a 19th century, Spanish antique.  The story is,

that while the Moors were attacking Catholic Spain in the 14th century, they captured a priest in the town of Caravaca and commanded him to say a Mass, with the intention of mocking him. He asked his captors for the necessary supplies and was given everything except the crucifix. Without the crucifix, he could not celebrate Holy Mass. Moments before the good priest was to be executed for disobeying the Moors, two angels came through an open window reverently carrying a cross between them and the Moorish leader was converted

then and there.

Size:  2 1/4"long
