Plans Underway for World's Largest Cross in Nazareth

A group of Christian businessmen in Israel are planning to build the largest cross in the world in the childhood town of Jesus Christ.

According to officials, the initial private building plan is already underway for the “Nazareth Cross”, which will be 60 metres high and decorated by some 7.2 million mosaic tiles made of Nazareth stone.

The site will be an attempt to draw tourism to boost the struggling economy of Nazareth as well as pay homage to the early life of Christ.

what a waste of resources ... I am sure LORD would be thrilled to see this humongous cross ... instead of bunch of hungry or war devastated population - mostly children - being saved from death and destruction ...

Lord has her priorities ... right?
