Travelling along the Interstate 40 in Groom, Texas, we could see the white cross from far away. It has been claimed to be the largest cross in the western hemisphere but after checking the internet it is now the 2nd largest. The cross at Effingham, Illinois is 8 feet taller, standing at 198 feet.

There were 13 bronze sculptures, depicting the different scenes from the time he was condemned to death until his body was removed from the cross.
Station 1: Jesus before Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judaea.
