Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Gilded Crosses? By Mark D. Stucky Shiny icons gleaming on altars? And hanging from necks on gilded chains? No. Not back then… Not golden, not metal, not shiny, not slick, not smooth, not symmetrical, not sanded, not straight. Unvarnished, uneven, irregular, rough-hewn, knotty, cracked, scrap wood with hazardous splinters. No sparkling jewels inlaying gold. Just rusty nails impaling flesh and bone. No ornate mounting, no pristine pedestal. Just dropped into a hole and wedged with rocks. No symbol, no sacredness, no beauty, no justice, no hope, no gain, no victory, no glory. Just naked, scandalous, criminal, brutal, with loss, sorrow, pain, and inevitable death. That is what a Roman cross was and meant back then… a death sentence, an icon of horror. Until…transformed one dark morning, when Light shoved stone aside and sentenced Death to die. (First published in Small Town Anthology V: Entries from the Fifth Annual Tournament of Writers, Schoolcraft Community Library, 2019, pp. 147-148.
