In one of the chapels of the cathedral, according to legend, a stunning shrine is kept - a "growing cross". In the 17th century, one shepherd decided to cut a wooden crucifix for himself. And while he was working as a sword, Jesus Christ himself appeared to him. What they said, history is silent. But after this incident, Christians placed the cross in the chapel. And - about a miracle! - the cross began to grow! In size, it is comparable to the cross in Calvary. It is said that it still stretches upward like a real accelerator.
