Dutch Cradle Cross

Today one of our preachers stopped by the house and brought Hayden a present.

It's a Dutch Cradle Cross.  I wasn't exactly sure what the story was behind the cradle cross, but this is what the paper said that came with it.

Jesus said, " Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for such belongs to the kingdom of heaven."  - Matthew 19:14

"With all their hearts, the Dutch believed in this passage from Holy Scripture and for centuries placed cradle crosses over the beds of thier infant children- that this symbol of the Christian faith might early become a part of the child's consciousness."

She also gave Hayden a book and a certificate.
