Crucifix in Lengstein / Longostagno.

I guess it takes a massive chain to hold him down.
Your picture could be good material for a sermon.

The need for a chain is a sad commentary on modern society.

Oh ... can't imagine why anyone would want to steal it...

That chain is huge!

Das wäre gut möglich, in der Bretagne wird oft in Kirchen und Kapellen geklaut...

Nautical looking chain links.

If there were a chain that big back then, I wonder if the path of history would have changed.
