The Eastern Orthodox icon is not the only noticeable object. Directly in view is an eye-catching crucifix. This type of crucifix, a Celtic cross, is an unusual sight in a Dutch church, because it is usually associated with churches in Ireland and Great Britain (figure 1).

Almost a century ago, a late community member asked his neighbor across the street, who was a carpenter, if he could manufacture a crucifix. The carpenter, however, was Roman Catholic and, subsequently, probably did not exactly know what a Protestant crucifix looked like. Hence, this uncommon Celtic cross.
