I’m new to TV, what is this push for white crosses in the yard? I’m a devout Catholic and would love to have a statue in my yard. BUT, I don’t need a statue or cross in the yard to live my faith. Maybe someone can give me a short history of this phenomenon. Is it required by one of our sister protestant denominations? Is it a grave marker for a buried pet? Is it simply a way to express your “freedom of speech?” I wear a crucifix around my neck 24/7, my personal reminder of the Passion of Christ. I have a rosary cd in my car, which is used as a private/personal prayer aid. I don’t understand the “need” for white crosses in the yard. I understand it would be nice if we were permitted but you can witness by your everyday interaction with people. As St. Francis said, “Preach the Gospel always, and if necessary, use words”
