World's Largest Crucifix.

World's Largest Crucifix

Field review by the editors.

Bardstown, Kentucky

An outdoor sculpture built in 1986, it is sixty feet high, "welded of stainless steel rods, garment of wire-cloth, hair of copper." It battles and barely bests a more traditional rendition of a crucifix, the 55-footer in Indian River, Michigan. The one in Bardstown overlooks a cemetery, and is spindly, like a ship's mast.
