Faithful flock to see Crucifix in Lake Michigan

An estimated 1,200 people walked over a frozen Lake Michigan last week to view a large Crucifix that rests under the massive lake’s usually murky waters. According to the Aleteia website, the Crucifix is located about 800 feet off the shores of Petoskey, Michigan and under 22 feet underwater.

The  1,850-pound Crucifix was carved by Italian artisans and was commissioned by the family of a 15-year-old Michigan teen who died in a shotgun accident in 1956. When the life-sized monument was damaged during its transpiration from Italy, a diver bought it and placed it in the lake, near where a colleague and friend had died.
