Description
This country photograph was captured in West Virginia and the text seemed to fit with the photographic theme as well as the space amongst the clouds! John 11:25 states, Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die."
It is my understanding that West Virginia has more of these crosses than any other state, Mr. Coffindaffer who died in 1993 said he built 1,842 cross clusters in 29 states, the Philippines and Zambia. The first trio of crosses, which stood 25 feet high, was erected in 1984 about 65 miles north of Charleston, West Virginia. Coffindaffer started the project on September 28, 1984, stating, "Not for saints or sinners. For everybody. They're up for only one sole reason, and that's this: to remind people that Jesus was crucified on a Cross at Calvary for our sins and that He Is soon coming again. That's what jars, but that's the truth. When you say, For our sins, half the people run. When you say, "He's coming again", everybody runs." "And, maybe," he said, "the Crosses will make one person stop and think."
