Rutherian Jesus Crucifix

A sheet metal Jesus crucifix (a popular local copy from an historical Rutherian church) outside an abandoned industrial building on the outskirts of Jaworki, on 20th September 2019,
near Szczawnica, Malopolska, Poland. The village of a thriving Rutherian community was once in nearby Biala Woda where over 100 farms were located - the remains of which are still seen. A wooden cross with a figure of Christ cut from sheet metal survived the culture. Similar crosses and chapels can be found in the colloquial language of White Water in the Romanian, Ukrainian or Eastern Slovakia Carpathians.
