Cross on Interstate 40 Groom, Texas (near Pampa)


Cross on Interstate 40 Groom, Texas (near Pampa)




IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE



On a lonely stretch of highway just outside of Groom, Texas (near Pampa) stands a 19 story tall cross that can be seen for miles from any direction. The arm spans are 110 feet across.


It is constructed of a welded steel framework covered with steel sheeting.

This cross is the result of the efforts of Steve Thomas and family of Pampa, Texas. It took 250 welders eight months to complete, and weighs 1,250 tons. It stands alone, unsupported by guy wires, and can withstand
winds of 140 miles per hour.


Steve Thomas' son, Zack Thomas, is an All-Pro middle linebacker for the Miami Dolphins.


The cross is truly an awsome sight to behold. It is a dedication to the love and sacrifice of Jesus.

It is a spectacular sight at night, and is open for viewing 24 hours per day, seven days a week,and the site is truck and RV accessible.

It is anticipated that 10 million people a year will pass by the cross and a thousand a day will stop.

On a small hill facing the cross there are three bronze cross statues depicting the crucifixion of Jesus between two thieves.

The base of the cross is surrounded by life-sized bronze statues of Jesus depicting twelve stations of Jesus carrying the cross to Calvary.

Station 1 - Jesus is condemned. Station 2 - Jesus carries cross.

Station 3 - Jesus falls for the first time. Station 4 - Jesus meets his mother

Station 5 - Simon helps Jesus Station 6 - Veronica wipes the face of Jesus

Station 7 - Jesus falls the second time. Station 8 - Jesus comforts the women of Jerusalem.

Station 9 - Jesus falls the second time. Station 10 - Jesus is stripped of his garments.

Station 11 - Jesus is nailed to the cross. Station 12 - Jesus is crucified and dies on the cross for our sins.
