Cross Ministries erected this massive cross just off Exit 112 in Groom, Texas. 

The cross has a steel frame and took eight months and more than 100 welders to build. It was erected in July, 1995.

The cross stands 19-stories tall (190-feet) and weighs two-and-a-half million pounds.

Life-size bronze sculptures surround the cross at the base. They depict the Passion of Our Lord.

The grounds also include an empty tomb that portrays the Resurrection, bronze plaques of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, a memorial for the Innocent Unborn, a life-size bronze depiction of the Last Supper, and more.

The grounds are open 24/7 and visitors are encouraged.
