Jesuit missionary Crucifix, dating from 1888, at the Old Saint Ferdinand Shrine, in Florissant, Missouri, the church where Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne lived. When I was a young child, I think it was this very crucifix which made me first realize that Jesus was executed, and not just humiliated on the cross. Photo taken in 2006.
