Ah! Now that's an interesting post. So they are not an expression of your belief in a particular deity. No, you are telling me they are political speech opposing a legal procedure that is in fact, per the SCOTUS, protected by the Constitution.

Well now we have a whole new kettle of fish. Should we allow political signs in our yards as apparently crosses are political speech. And of course political speech is protected by the Constitution. Except when it isn't because you signed a contract or due to a reasonable local law.

Thank you for honestly telling me what those little crosses meant. That is wasn't burial spots for dead pets, or generic advertising of your adherence to a faith. No, the motivation is to make a political statement about abortion and the effects of Roe v Wade. It would be interesting to know how many homes with little white crosses have pro-choice Christians.

Yea well mine was in my backyard surrounded by plants so how did someone see it IF they weren't in my yard Period.

Going into Santa Domingo on Madora on the right side down a little way.there’s a man who makes them and he puts them at the end of his driveway . Also a note on what it means. The story is very interesting. It’s not what you think

This goes on and on. Most Villagers are Christians. I don't think there can be more than 20 in all of Villages who are really, really, negative about the small white crosses. The fact is that we do have deed restrictions that we signed, that are very common in many communities like ours and they do have the desired effect of keeping a lot of "stuff" from being displayed in yards. One man's Flamingo is another person's cannon. Not every person is gifted with good taste in lawn décor. The deed restrictions keep a "clean slate". I know the value of the symbol of the cross and especially as we are older and closer to the "final reckoning" but there is nothing to keep you from placing a cross around your neck or right up against the house, under the eaves. Remember there are wonderful, good people living here who are not Christians. Some have no belief in a higher being and some practice other religions. Every good person I know that celebrates Easter would probably agree that Christ died for all of us and the big message of Christianity is to be kind. I believe there are all kinds of scripture that says not to pass judgement. I like deed restrictions. I like no crosses. I think we have too much time on our hands. But the thing is this...no one HAS to live here if living without a small white cross in their yard is too difficult there are places that do not have deed restrictions.

Here is a picture of my cross here in the kitchen where I am typing this very minute. Just slightly out of the reach of my right hand...

Boy how nasty . You don’t even know why ? These cross have nothing to do w/ religion. So try to be kind during these trying times.

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
