The La Salette Cross
At La Salette, Mary wore a crucifix suspended from a chain around her neck with instruments used in Christ’s crucifixion. A hammer was on the right, and a pincers on the left. The hammer was the tool used to drive the nails into Christ’s flesh. It symbolizes sin. The pincers were the pliers-like tool used to remove the nails when Jesus was taken down from the cross. They symbolize prayer and penance and reconciliation.

Mary’s message at La Salette was a tearful mother’s plea to her children. She asked the faithful to turn from habits of sin and to pray for the conversion of sinners. The landmark cross on our parish church symbolizes her message.
