The Roman legionnaires, oblivious to the crying child, began dividing Christ's clothes among themselves...the cruelest, Legionnaire Treatorus, grabbed the sandals of Jesus Christ.
"These are mine!" Treatorus cried out.
That moment, Jesus, with a compassionate expression and forgiving eyes, prayed, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."
