Welcome to The Villages, and please ignore the nay sayers and nasty comments regarding your post. My neighbor makes the crosses and they are free to whomever would like one. I will pick one up for you once he has more to share. I will send you a "private" email when he has them. God Bless and take care. <3

At this time, isn’t time to be nice and stop putting people down. It isn’t important with everything that’s going on.?

I just don’t get the anger that people feel when the world is in a crisis. Isn’t that more important then telling someone they are being bad?

If you live in terra del sol your restrictions are different. You may be able to do this as you are north of 466. As they said check your feed restrictions that will tell you

They aren't allowed. It isn't that the cross isn't loved. No lawn ornaments are allowed in most of The Villages. (I think you are allowed to place one under the eaves)..If someone reports you, you will be fined. It is a rule. No one is being anti-Christian.

There are more important things to worry about now. Don’t you think?

I missed the post where someone told someone they are being bad. I don't know how you feel Shirley, but I like deed restrictions. They keep everything nice.

I think I read something about needing to publicly display your faith so that your neighbors can see how pious you are...

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray ..on the street corners to be seen by men"

Source anyone?

It has nothing to do with religion. A town in the middle of the states( I forget where) some people moved in and decided they wanted all crosses brought down. The story goes on .

My Goodness how mean can people be at such a horrific time

Your right shouldn't have put that in there which is why I edited my original post. Just get tired of the petty crap. VERY view homes are in compliance If people actually read them. There are many crosses in TV along with MANY other violations most are landscaping issues. People have been turned in for having their crosses in their NON road facing backyards where mine was when it was reported. So who saw that one ?

I used to see people giving them away free after mass at ST. TIMOTHY OR ST. MARK on occasion. You might call those churches. They might know. Or just watch for them when we can go again.

I like deed restrictions as well.

If you want to put up a cross, go ahead. I see many around and I see that those who scorn such displays are vocal in their contempt. (Sadly they are likely to be the very same folks who will scream if there is the slightest hindrance of their rights.) By no means hold back because neighbors might be offended; that is the ploy and the bogus attempt to silence believers by the pc thugs that live everywhere, including this community. Most of the folks here are the "live and let live" types; it is the ACLU types who want to suppress expression they deem politically offensive. If the district tells you it is in violation, then you can take it down if you choose. But don't be put off by the microaggression midgets with a keyboard.

A stand up reply. :coolsmiley:

So much heat/ so little light in this post. Violaters are breaking a covenant that they have made with every other homeowner who is covered under the same recorded covenant. So much for integrity .

Perfectly stated. Thank you for this insight

Nope - The Village has decided not to fight the ACLJ and now the crosses are OK

It is my understanding that churches in the area have them. There is NOTHING WRONG in wanting one of those white crosses. I, as a Christian, also want one.

Well, it looks like every viewpoint has had a chance to get their licks in and the OP has received many leads to the crosses. In this trying time, this thread is closed to avoid a run on BP meds.
