Another priest has been hit by a giant crucifix and a video of the incident is going viral just days after a priest passed on when a crucifix fell on him.

The recent video circulating on X purportedly shows a cross falling on a priest's head inside a church in Colombia as he attempts to move it.

According to the clip, a priest is seen inside a church in Colombia. He approaches the cross and appears to try to move it.

However, due to its weight, the cross cross falls on him and he crashes to the ground.

The post claims he survived with a minor injury.

There has been no official confirmation about the origin, exact location, church, identity of the person, or full context.

This comes days after a Catholic priest in Ecuador passed on after a large crucifix hanging behind him fell on him as he was delivering a sermon. He was identified as Father Patricio Alfredo Sanchez Molinari, who served as parish priest at the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Guayaquil.

See video below.

“CRUZ CAE SOBRE SACERDOTE EN COLOMBIA” Días después de la muerte del padre Patricio Sánchez en Ecuador, un nuevo video muestra a un sacerdote colombiano siendo golpeado en la cabeza por una gran cruz de madera mientras intentaba bajarla para mantenimiento.

El incidente se vuelve viral y genera comparaciones con el caso de Guayaquil, donde el cura ecuatoriano falleció tras el impacto de una cruz durante una misa transmitida en vivo. ¿Falta de mantenimiento o simple accidente? Las imágenes circulan sin confirmar aún ciudad ni identidad exacta del sacerdote. #Colombia #Iglesia #Viral #Noticias
