Default small white crosses?

when i first seen one of these in a yard I assumed it was a spot where a pet was buried, however after seeing more in other areas, i realized we didnt have a massive amout of canine deaths, are these making a statement of the residents faith? please understand i am not making a statement of advertising ur faith, just asking? Who knows maybe Jesus return is eniment and these folks dont want be passed by? some areas of the south crosses in the yards have "other" meaning if you will! I do realize there are secret signs people put in there yards to indicate they are members of the swinger life style. just looking for a clarification.

Default White cross

Um....my neighbor has one in their yard and they don't have a pet nor are they swingers.....my guess is that they get these from their church for a specific reason???? I would be anxious to know too.

Pro life advocates trying to spread their gospel. Kind of like a political sign which is not allowed in TV.

Or people who simply wish to show they are Christian. Like people who fly the flag because they are Patriotic. And those who have the Mezuza on their door because they are Jewish and people who choose to attend church or synagogue like the Pilgrims who founded this country looking for freedom to follow their peaceful religion.

According to deed restrictions no signs are allowed in their yard so I hope they move these crosses to close to the house, under the eaves but still visible so that they can be seen and still be in accord with the rules.

Why are there 20+ of these crosses in the grassy area by St Timothy's Catholic Church by Spanish Springs? No judgement, just curious.

Symbol of Pro Life, Anti Abortion. Notice that they are colored blue or pink as if a cemetery of unborn male and female fetuses. I would imagine that Pro Choice people might find it offensive.

Against the Deed Restrictions, take them down.

The white crosses are no different than any other decorative display we set in our berms. They are to promote getting along with one another regardless of spiritual demonination.

You cant pray in schools, you cant pray at city council meetings, you cant put up a manger scene in government buildings or property. This is our way of a silent protest against the few thousand atheist who dictate to the millions of religious people in this country. PS It doesn't matter what religion.

Actually there are more then 20 million atheists/agnostics in this country. And many atheists do not share the pro-choice view. A life is a life regardless of religion or a lack thereof. Morality was around long before Christianity.

Leave the Cross take the Cannolis. The crosses have a religious/spiritual meaning. Leave them alone.
