It is said that the wooden crucifix was carved in 1200 by a shepherd who used the wood of a tree. He managed to carve all of the Christ except the head. Legend has it that the already sculpted head was found by the shepherd at the foot of an oak called the "celsa di lu Signuri"; but the incredible thing is that that same oak, later, was struck by lightning and it remained a stumped trunk, in the shape of a cross.
