ZAGREB, Oct 2 (Hina) - The "Vukovar Cross" with the images of 14
stations of the Way of the Cross and the Resurrection, a gift from
the State Committee for Welcoming the Holy Father, will be
transported to the Vatican Palace.
The three-metre tall cherry-wood cross was exhibited for the first
time on Friday night, in front of the Zagreb Cathedral, near the
site where the Pope addressed the public.
After the Holy Father entered the Cathedral, the cross was brought
in as well.
The World Centre "The Miracle of Croatian Naive Art" encouraged and
conducted the construction of the cross, which is the work of many
Croatian naive artists. At the foot of the cross there is an
inscription "The Vukovar Cross".
A Croatian delegation, led by State Committee for Welcoming the
Holy Father president Jure Radic, will take the cross to the
Vatican, as a sign of gratitude for everything Pope John Paul II has
done for the Croatian people and state.
