The Barre Cross

I visited the Barre Cross in Barre, MA without knowing what it looked like from the air. It has an interesting story. Farmer John Harty died on August 20, 2017. It would have been nice to have met him. This was a work of love and faith. This is a part of the obituary:
In 1989, John received a loud firm message from God that instructed him to build a cross 200 ft long 25 ft wide, painted with The Ten Commandments in the middle of the field. Followed by creating a message to all that could be seen from 1,000 feet in the air, God's Wisdom, made with trees and crushed marble. Throughout the years many people have visited his home and he was able to share his love of Jesus and to reconnect people with The Ten Commandments. Weddings, baptisms, healings, and many more memorable events have taken place on the farm. John was always thankful to everyone who donated their time and energy to The Cross. He was a faithful servant and pursued God's will for his property. "Grandpa John" humbly lived a beautiful life and glorified God with every moment. John's purpose was fulfilled, and is to be cherished by many more for generations to come. 

God's Wisdom

After I returned home I looked up this location on Google Maps and realized that the entire site is a cross. This is not apparent on the ground.
