The Cross - Groom Texas

By
Real Estate Agent with Albuquerque Homes Realty 16572

The Cross - Groom Texas


This 19-story The Cross located next to Interstate 40 at Groom Texas. This 190 foot tall free-standing cross can be seen from twenty miles away. Surrounding the base of the The Cross are life-sized statues of the Stations of The Cross.  Many claim this cross to be the largest in the Western Hemisphere. Each time we’re near Groom Texas we make a point to stop and take in the eerie silence the enormous The Cross and life size statues bring.  On this Easter weekend I found it very appropriate to share this amazing photo with you.  Peace be with you my friends.

Maybe I'll get a chance to hop off the freeway as we drive back to Durango when we move.  I'd love to see that close up!

Thanks for your kind soul and always supportive words.

Just wanted to wish a wonderful Easter filled with joy and bliss. Being Greek Orthodox, I get to celebrate it again next Sunday which is Greek Easter. If you wonder why, check out my blog today with the reason why. για την υγεία σας "to your health" cvc

Hi John -  Aptly appropriate. Thank you for sharing your faith.

I have had a fabulous day so far, church, and lunch with my family, nap, and relax.  Next on the agenda is a little gardening.  Blessings to you and yours. Happy Easter!

John,

 This is a spectacular picture and a great message. We must never forget and not allow the government take the word GOD out of our history and also the schools. Happy Easter.

John.  Happy Easter my friend.  It is an amazing photo.  Reminds me of my days at Catholic school going through the stations of the cross.  I think I got an A on the assignment of memorizing all of them.  What memories!

My Friends and Fellow Rainmakers!  It does my heart good to see so many jumping in here and making such positive statements and providing solid support for the Groom Cross.  I should have provided this link myself but Pacita did a little research and found the ministry behind the Cross here http://www.crossministries.net/  There is a lot of story and lot of passion behind this entire project, anyone stopping to walk the grounds of the special place is invited to contribute but not mandatory.  There is a certain draw here that leaves your soul saddened but lifted at the same time.  Take the time reflect on the Cross whether its in Groom Tx, your local Chapel or your living room. Thanks everyone.
