three crosses
One night in 1984, the Reverend Bernard Coffindaffer had an epiphany. God called him, he explained afterward, to erect sets of three crosses across the land to recall Christ's crucifixion at Calvary. He would raise them wherever he could and start nearby—in the foothills west of the Allegheny Mountains in central West Virginia.
I'm not sure if these three crosses are part of what he erected, because he died in 1993 and others have taken up his mission. Most of his were painted with the center one being yellow and the two flanking ones blue. Many are now falling in disrepair which I find sad. It was very foggy the day I took this photo. Anyway, seems a fitting photo for today as it's Sabbath and Anita, Maddy (grandbaby) and I are headed to Roanoke and church. Have a blessed day everyone! :)
