Awesome All Day Good Will Tour Day #7: God Dammit! THAT’S A HUGE CROSS!
Driving down I-40 on our way out Amarillo (Hallelujah!), we spotted a sign that said WORLDS LARGEST CROSS. After about 3 minutes of convincing the girls/ stowing my devil worship paraphernalia we pulled the RAV4 off the freeway and headed for eternal salvation.
The cross is 19 stories tall and in the middle of a giant field. Fortunately, they had helpful signs to keep pilgrims from going astray.
When we finally reached the Jesus Tower, we found that it also had the stations of the cross immortalized in statuary. Even the part where Jesus put down the cross and picked up an aborted fetus!
My favorite part was Jesus’ tomb! It had the round rock and everything! This place was so cool you could see why a dude would want to hang out in there for three days!
After a quick stroll around the mount, we headed for the gift shop.
There was so much great stuff in here you couldn’t measure it with a golden measuring rod EVEN IF YOU WANTED TO!
My favorite had to be the Strawberry Jam, Because nothing says religious piety and ancient roman execution devices like the taste of homestyle strawberry preserve!

Did you pass “Big Texan?” You can’t miss it. It’s close to The Cross.

[...] Diana, Amber, and I been traveling through the southern part of the US for a little over two weeks now and I got to say that Austin is by far the hottest place we’ve been. When I took the St. Catherine t-shirt I was waring in these photos I actually had a perfect sweat stain imprint of the divine lady on my undershirt, here’s hoping it cures cancer/makes me some of that sweet religious tourism money.
