Face of God...
“You can almost touch the face of God. That's what I tell all who ask me about the cross. This is the most peaceful place I know.”
—Kassie
Such a great feeling...
“There is such a great feeling you get when you walk up to the top of the mountain and stand by that huge cross and can see forever in all directions ...sitting up there reading God's word and praying, is the best sensation. I love when the clouds are low, at night, and the spotlight in front of the cross, causes an outline of the cross in the clouds up in the sky.”
—Becky Strother ...Facebook Fan

The Great Cross Of Christ
 |
A stranger driving through the highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania, saw something on a far-off mountain top that looked like a gleaming cross. Stopping his car, he trained field glasses on the object and said, "That looks like one of the wonders of the modern world. It must be one of the biggest crosses ever erected." |

And indeed it is. Since 1950 a steel cross 60 feet high has stood on a concrete base six feet tall on Dunbar's Knob, which itself is 2,480 feet above sea level. |

On a clear day the mountaintop boasts a view of three states and seven counties with sights up to 50 miles away. At night it is bathed in glowing spotlights, shining as a beacon of hope and inspiration to all who see it far above the dark silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains. |
