One man got a job in an artel on the Volga near Astrakhan. A lot of Tatars lived there. It turned out that he was alone in the Orthodox artel. So these Tatars, now they are baptized, and then all as one Muslim began to mock him:
— How do you believe in Him Who was crucified? What kind of God is this that could be killed? Why are you wearing a cross?
And the man caught them smart, says:
— I’d tell you why I’m wearing a cross, but you’d be offended.
— No, we will not be offended, I had to promise them: I wonder what he will say next.
— “Which one of you is brave?” he asked.
One of the stronger Tatars came out to meet him. He’s watching. And our man take off his cross and went straight to the Tatar to put on his neck. And the one who shrieks, how he bounces!!!
— You see, the devils of the cross are afraid! he concluded.
