Description
The Great Cross, which is in St. Augistine, FL, was erected at the direction of Archbishop Joseph P. Hurley, then Bishop of the Diocese of St. Augustine. Although the Cross would not be completed until September 1966, the top portion was dedicated during an interfaith prayer service on September 8, 1965. His Excellency Casimiro Morcillo, Archbishop of Madrid, dedicated it during the diocesan Eucharistic Congress of October 1966. Like the Prince of Peace Church, the Great Cross was built to celebrate the Four Hundredth anniversary of the beginning of Christianity in this land and the founding of the City of St. Augustine. This massive structure, made of stainless steel and rising two hundred and eight feet above the marshes of the Matanzas River, stands as a sentinel over the Mission and a �Beacon of Faith� for all who pass this way.
