Welcome Addition to Crucifix

The large white crucifix on the West side of the Church now bears a welcome addition:  a sign bearing  “INRI” (Latin acronym for Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum” which represents the Latin inscription for “Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews”.   In the Gospel of St.  John 19:20 it states that this titulus crucis was placed on the cross by the Roman authorities during the crucifixion of Jesus.  It was originally written in three languages — Aramaic, Latin, and Greek .  The local artist, a parishioner of St. Clement, Mr. Paul Dupuis, shared these photos of the process involved in making it.   Thank-you Mr. Dupuis!
