Crosses for Good Friday

I, like lots of other people photograph crosses.

It is one of the many things I seem to collect.

My daughter and daughter-in-law have cross collections in their homes.

I collect the photographs.

This first photo was taken in Cartagena, Columbia, February 2009,

it is high on the hill overlooking the city.Next is at a little church in Rhea County.

I never thought about the significance of this cross being in the foundation of the church until I was preparing this post. It just hit me, they were sending the message that their church's foundation was the cross. Nice message. The lawn of McCampbell United Methodist Church, close to Dandridge, Tennessee.

The next 3 photos were all taken at Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center, May 2008. The first photo is a natural grown cross, donated to Lake Junaluska.

While there I knew I had to capture the famous Lake Junaluska cross at sunrise. Inside one of the lobbies at Lake Junaluska.

Laurel Valley Community Church in Virginia.

The August post on this church can be view here.

(Darla, it is 'your' church.)

Don't know the name of this church,

it was in the area of Marion, Viriginia.

Hope you have enjoyed a small collection of my

photographs of crosses on this Good Friday.

Cup Flower

This photo of the Cup Flower (Nierembergia) was taken at Lake Junaluska when I visited there in May.

Lupine at Lake Junaluska

This past weekend was the first time I had ever seen Lupines. Lake Junaluska has them everywhere in their flower beds. They are in several colors, and they are beautiful. I did verify the name.

Lake Junaluska, North Carolina

These 2 photos are of the cross on the hill overlooking Lake Junaluska, North Carolina. This past weekend I attended a Spiritual Enrichment Experience with the Holston Conference United Methodist Women. I had never been to Lake Junaluska before, it is a gorgeous location to grower closer to God.
