Cross at the Crossroads, Illinois, United States
4.5 (174 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Effingham Religious Sites
Faith Based Sight from the Road
It was very nice to see a symbol of our faith suddenly appear on the horizon as we drove along the highway. This huge cross immediately reminded me of who we are in Christ and what I am called to do. I find its unique shape particularly striking, but I can understand why some people wouldn’t like it. The cross represents the ugliest event in history. It’s through the pain and ugliness that we have life eternally.

An amazing day
My Fiancé and I visited together for our first time together and the cross was so big and beautiful…I won’t tell too much about it because I think the experience is even better up close and personal. You get a history of it and when it was built. It’s a must visit site…I also went axe throwing and that was really fun. I think anyone would enjoy this small town…seems cozy and welcoming.

Beautiful grounds
Beautiful Cross was happy could actually take a picture. Enjoyed the 10 commandments although several of them the speaker was broke. Statue of Jesus and the children and the nativity. Was very disappointed the gift shop wasn't open even though they had hours on the door.
