Talk:Crosier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'The term derives from the Old English word crycc, meaning "crutch."'
Not really. It's related to crycc, which is also related to the modern word "cross" as well as "crutch" - hence, the medieval Crutched Friars (who wore crosses on their habits) and the oath "Christ on a crutch!", which originally referred to the crucifixion, not Jesus limping around on a modern crutch.
