One pair of hands. (sostener algo en la mano)
No other hands have ever held this cross. This was a find after tramping (hiking) for 40 years looking for a cross in nature. I had always thought it would be up in some tree and this find was the exact opposite it was two roots in a two tracker (dirt pipeline roadway) that had been run over repeatedly. This tortured them into growing together making a unique and empty cross, symbolic of the instrument of the crucifixion of Jesus and is the best-known symbol of Christianity.

The arch adds a nice dimension to this picture. Interesting background on the cross itself. You must have been pleased when you spotted this gift of nature.

I was excited enough to hike all the way home and return immediately with the loppers to cut it free

The hands with the cross and encased by the soft-edged arch really stands out very well! Love the composition.

Thank you for the compliment on the composition and especially on the arch as that was built by the very hands that are holding the cross.
