Counsel for the prosecution team Atty. Mae Divinagracia on Tuesday was seen holding a wooden cross as she did her direct examination of the witness during the 18th day of the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte.
But what is it for?
‘For Comfort. It gives me confidence, clarity of mind, that’s how I feel when I’m holding it,’ Divinagracia said in an ambush interview when asked the question.
Several netizens were posting about the said cross online, curious about what the lawyer was holding.
The wooden cross is often called a ‘comfort cross,’ an asymmetrical cross ergonomically designed to be grasped in one’s clenched hand during prayer or difficult times.
The litigation lawyer said that the cross is something she always carries with her whenever she is at hearings and trials
