In 1607, the French explorer, Samuel de Champlain (baptized 1874, France -d. 1635) found "an old cross, all covered with moss, and almost wholly rotted away" at the site of what is now Advocate, Nova Scotia, Canada. he interpreted this as confirmation of reports that the Portuguese explorer, Joao Alvares Fagundes (b. ca 1460, Portugal -d 1522), had visited the area about 1520.
Just as Fagundes left a cross, we leave traces in people's lives. Do you leave a cross wherever you go?
