Monumental Cross of Casale

Highlight • Monument

THE MONUMENTAL CROSS: It represents the symbolic monument of the Madonna's pain, which in this case is represented precisely by the cross that pierced and made the mother's heart bleed for the excruciating death of her son. The idea symbolized in the aforementioned cross is the one enclosed in the words that the holy old Simeon addressed to Mary: "This is set to ruin and resurrect many in Israel, and one day a sword will pierce your soul too".
