San Antonio Cross
Rich and Carol visited San Antonio, Texas. One of the places they enjoyed going to was the El Mercado (Market). This market was laid out similar to those is Mexico with lots of small shops side by side in a large building.
One such shop featured Mexican pottery. The couple looked through the store without finding anything of interest. As they were getting ready to leave the shop Rich saw this cross hanging from a nail.
Rich purchased it because the shape reminded him of the LCMS cross and the pottery was painted in colors reminiscent of other Mexican pottery.
San Antonio is named for Saint Anthony of Padua (born Fernando Martins de Bulhões; 1195 – 1231) was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order.
The cross reminds us of service to the Lord as well as the work of all ministers of the Gospel.
