How The Donkey Came To
Have His Cross
Everyone knows that the little grey donkey carries a cross on his
back. Most people don't know the legend of the donkey's cross.
The story is told that the little donkey that had been Jesus'
mount on Palm Sunday, came to the hill of Calvary.
Seeing the tragic event occurring there he wished with all his
heart he had been able to carry the cross for Jesus
as he was the proper one to carry heavy burdens.
The donkey turned his back on the sight, but he could not leave
because he wished to stay until all was over because of his love
for Jesus.
In reward for the loyal and humble love of the little donkey, the
Lord caused the shadow of the cross to fall across his back
and left it there for the donkey to carry forevermore
as a sign that the love of God,
no matter how humble,
carries a reward for all to see.
