In addition to the huge cross, there is an installation of life-size, or near life-size bronze Stations of the Cross around the foot of the cross. These have been being installed slowly over time. West of the Cross is a crucifixion scene up on a hill. And East of the cross is a memorial. Just south of the crucifixion scene is a climate controlled building with info regarding the Shroud of Turin. The Cross is sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.

The [2nd] Largest Cross in the Western Hemisphere is just outside Groom, Texas. It's 190 feet tall and can't be missed from I-40. It looks brand spanking new and appears to be made of metal sheeting. It's on the west side of town. The leaning watertower is on the east.
