Waterbury, Connecticut - Holy Land USA Holy Land USA only seems to be providing entertainment for the sac religious at current. The gate is closed, and rusty and there is a No Trespassing sign put up by a construction company. Not so much a place of worship, cause the only way to see the cross without committing a crime is from the highway. Those who like a little religious humor can give a hallelujah for this one.

Waterbury, Connecticut - Holy Land, USA Recently, the Republican-American (a newspaper in Waterbury) reported that the gigantic, illuminated cross atop Holy Land USA is going to be coming down in February, 2008 due to disrepair and vandalism. There are plans in the works to replace it, but if it is replaced, the new cross will either be outlined in light or illuminated by spotlights. It will not be the plexiglass, internally lit structure it is now. [Ashleigh Doherty, 01/21/2008]
The city and the community should get involved to bring this back. In this time with the wars etc., to have a piece of the Holy Land here in this country is a good idea. I think more people would come to see this and leave with a feeling that they got to see Holy Land in the USA. Please let me know how I can write to somebody how important it is to fix Holy Land USA.
