Strange, is it not...for the first six centuries of Christianity, believers shunned the cross as an identifying symbol, because they didn't want thier faith put to question by displaying Our Lord as an executed common criminal (which is what the cross was used for)...FI, Roman citizens could only be captally dispatched by beheading.

That's awesome j...thanks! :)

There's also a large cross at Fields of the Wood, North Carolina (near Murphy) that almost that large....best I recall, it's about 150 feet long.
