There is a legend connected to the painting of Christ on the cross (1605) by Kasper Kurcz hanging in the Romanesque Church of the Holy Saviour in Krakw’s Zwierzyniec.
It portrays Jesus in a long, white tunic and golden shoes, of which one is dropping towards a poor fiddler playing at the foot of the cross. The painting, replaced the old Romanesque crucifix, which was rumoured to be a gift sent from Moravia to the first Christian prince of Poland.
The crucifix, presenting Christ naked, received the royal Air Jordan 20s tunic, a crown studded with diamonds, and golden shoes to add to its reverence.
There was a Air Jordan Spizike poor fiddler who came frequently to praise the Lord with his music at the foot of the crucifix. God, seeing the poverty in the home of the pious musician, decided to help by removing one of the precious shoes from the figure of Christ, and casting it to the feet of the fiddler. Afraid that someone may accuse him Air Jordan 8s of stealing, the boy asked God to place the shoe back on Christ’s foot. The next time the fiddler turned up by the crucifix, he saw a crowd of people. When he began to play, the golden shoe slipped off Christ’s foot again and fell at his feet. This time, nobody could doubt the honesty of the musician. The crucifix was moved to Italy in the 17th century and was replaced by a painting showing Christ and the fiddler, which to this day reminds us of divine grace, mercy, and generosity.
Of course it is legend and nothing more, but it is interesting. Hope this helped friend. :DThis image is often confused with a crucified bearded lady called Saint Wilgefortis.
Even the Wikipedia entry for St Wilgefortis confuses the two legends
She is often shown with a small fiddler at her feet, and with one shoe off. This derives from Air Jordan 19s a legend, also attached to the Volto Santo of Lucca, of a silver shoe with which the statue had been clothed dropping spontaneously at the feet of a poor pilgrim. In the Wilgefortis version the poor devotee became a fiddler, perhaps in the 13th century
The Air Jordan 16s full in their iconography is that if the bearded figure in a dress on the cross wears a crown, then it is Jesus, and without the crown, it is St. Wilgefortis.
