2.5-million-pound Cross of Christ

cross of christ monumentMade some time on the road yesterday in spite of myself.

Within 16 miles east of Conway, Texas I stopped in Groom to take in the rest stop at The Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

The 190-foot-high, 2.5-million-pound cross is visible up to 20 miles away. Also on the grounds are a replica of the Shroud of Turin, a life-size Last Supper display, a 10 Commandments monument, and 14 life-size bronze stations of the cross, including an empty tomb display, Tomb of the Unborn and Calvary.
