The special crucifix father used to bless the congregation. It contains actual splinters from the cross on which Jesus was crucified. It was tested when found buried at the site among two other crosses. The other crossses were tested by applying samples to ailing people and nothing happened. It was the remaining cross that did indeed heal the people of their affliction. It was then processed, and these splinters from the actual cross were formed into a cross and placed inside the silver crucifix. The arrow denotes the splinters.
