There are times, in the recent past, when items offered on Ebay, well......shouldn't have been. I'm thinking of the alleged consecrated hosts that, thankfully, have long had a block put on their sale by the administrators.
But, there are good things offered from time to time; the odd piece of altar furniture, sanctuary bells and, even, vestments (both old and new old if you see what I mean).
A couple of years ago I put in a bid for a crucifix and duly won the pitch buying the item for £14 or thereabouts.
I like it a lot. It is a bronze sort of metal and it stands on a wooden 'Calvary' base intended to accommodate a candle. I guess it is French in origin, it has that aura about it.
We say our Rosary before it. What do you think?

It should really have a 'nightlight' candle but a normal one
gives a dramatic effect
I've never seen anything like it. I think it's rather nice.
ReplyDeleteI worked in a local charity shop once - you would be amazed at the amount of beautiful old Catholic items that came in. I still have missals, a statue of Our Lady, a bronze crucifix and more...
