The ancient statue of Christ Crucified being taken out of the Armenian Catholic Cathedral of Lviv, the historic capital of Galicia, now in western Ukraine, to be stored in a bunker for protection. The last time it was taken out was during WW2.

It is not surprising that you are misunderstood. People in Nazareth did not understand Christ either. It must have been hard for the God-Man to be misunderstood. So, rejoice, because this experience will make you like your Beloved. These little sufferings are the hand of God, conforming you into the image of His Son, allowing you to share His loneliness, His suffering, His hidden pain.
