Default White Crosses
I need 2-3 of the Crosses people are putting in their yards. Can someone tell me where to get them?

Why? Are you trying to keep the werewolves away?

Excuse my ignorance.... but I've heard the white cross identifies the occupants as being Christian. Is this correct?

I've also heard that, but I'm not sure.
I've also heard small white crosses are used to mark the burial sites of the ashes of beloved pets that have been cremated.

I don't understand what the hubbub is about these white crosses. I've seen bumper stickers and T shirts that are crass, crude and obscene. As are the people that display such trash.
Why make fun and get downright nasty because someone wants to display a symbol for peace and love. I don't get it. Well I do, jealously. They want what the person with faith has but they don't know how. So, instead of trying they lash out like a 8 year old would. Stupid old people.

Love the reference to senior citizens.

The symbol of the cross means a lot to some people.

This was from Henry's family home. It was carved in Oberommergau. It hangs in our house now.

The reason for all the "hubbub" is that the Christian white crosses when displayed in your yard are not in compliance with deed restrictions. Whether you are pro or con regarding the small white crosses these are the facts.
