THE CARAVACA CROSS HAS BEEN STOLEN!!!
In 2002, during an archaeological investigation of the property of the Ximenez-Fatio House Museum, a fascinating discovery was made…a 17th century caravaca cross. The caravaca cross was first produced to celebrate the end of the Black Death in Europe.
Believed to be the only example of a caravaca cross to be found in North America, the cross is kept under lock and key, but it has disappeared!
Authorities have been called, and they believe the culprit and the cross are still somewhere within the museum. Help us discover the identity of the thief, in which room, and where in the room, they hid the cross.
Starting tonight at 6:30pm, and every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights going forward, we will be hosting Heist at the Museum. Admission is $20 per person, and the game will last approximately ninety minutes.
This is the perfect event for birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or just something different for a fun night out in downtown St. Augustine.
For more information, or to pre-purchase Heist in the Museum tickets, stop by or call or gift shop at (904)342-8887.
