Largest Cross(es) in the Northern Hemisphere – Groom, Texas and Alto Pass, Illinois
Updated: April 11, 2011
Looks like we have a new reigning champion as to the Largest Cross in the Northern Hemisphere in Alto Pass, Illinois called the Bald Knob Cross at 198 ft. in height. We’re really not trying to debate here as the Cross in Groom is quoted as being 19 stories high (190 ft.). I would just recommend if you’re near either of these places, pay it a visit and be reminded of the most important thing these crosses stand for – The death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
