Thank you for that very interesting 11/17 post Great Christian nugget regarding donkeysabout the donkey that has a cross on its back. According to the article at The Fascinating Mystery Of The Donkey Breed With A Cross On Its Back | PetShun the Nubian donkey from Nubia in N.E. Africa and the Poitou donkey from France both have crosses on their backs. If Jesus on Palm Sunday rode into Jerusalem on a donkey's back that had a cross on it, it is more likely that the donkey would have been a Nubian donkey.
