Is this a mudcat thread or the Library of Congress? I think I made a wrong turn a few blocks back.

This past Sunday was the Sunday of the Cross. In it we consider the cross as the Instrument of our salvation. We sing these funky hymns (which I don't have any with me right now, alas) where we address the cross as if it's a person, and at one point we even say, "I'm addressing you as if you were a man."

Crazy stuff.
