In 1284, in the small city of Kranenburg in the district of Kleve, there was a Eucharistic miracle known under the name of “Miracle of the Miraculous Crucifix.” A sacred Host was thrown near a tree by a shepherd who was not able to swallow it because of an illness. Later, the tree was cut in half and a perfectly carved crucifix fell on the ground. On the place where the crucifix was found, a church was built. That church is still there to this day and numerous pilgrims come to visit it.
