Legend of the Rood
Okay kiddo, so let me tell you a story called "The Legend of the Rood". Once upon a time, a long time ago in England, there was a man who had a vision of a tree. But this tree was special, it was not just any tree, it was a cross.
The man saw the cross shining very brightly and it spoke to him. It told him that it was the cross that Jesus was crucified on, and that it had been chosen by God to save the world, to forgive our sins and to give us eternal life.
The man was very humbled and amazed by this vision, and he went to tell others about it. People weren't sure what to think at first, but then they started to believe the man's story and they started to worship the cross as a symbol of Jesus' sacrifice.
The legend tells of how the man saw the cross become a shimmering tree that he could touch, and it spoke to him of how it was used to crucify the son of God, and how Jesus then rose from the dead.
This story became known as the "Legend of the Rood" and it has been passed down through the generations. It is a very important story for Christians because it reminds us of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us and it helps us to understand the importance of the cross as a symbol of our faith. Cool, right?
