Description

The Relic-Bearer’s Cross
You didn’t plan to be here. Not in this dimly lit stone chapel, the air thick with incense and whispered Latin. Not with this small wood crucifix in your palm, its embedded relic barely visible through the ambered glass. But fate—providence, really—has a way of leading you where you’re meant to be.

A priest nods knowingly as he presses the cross into your hand. Take this. A relic of a saint, carried through time and tide. Who held it before you? A soldier in a distant war? A nun smuggling hope past enemy lines? A pilgrim tracing the worn steps of a thousand faithful before him? The stories are lost to history, but the power remains.

You slip it into your pocket, feeling its weight—not in grams, but in meaning. This is no ordinary trinket. It is a shield, a guide, a piece of something greater than yourself.

Tomorrow, the journey continues. But tonight, under flickering candlelight, you grip the cross and whisper a prayer of your own.
