“Built to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the beginning of Christianity in this land”
The Great Cross was erected at the direction of Archbishop Joseph P. Hurley, then Bishop of the Diocese of St. Augustine. Four hundred years earlier, in 1565, Pedro Menéndez Avilés placed a small wooden cross on Florida’s soil. The beginnings of Christianity in this new land led to numerous missions through Florida and, eventually, to the flourishing of the Catholic fainth throughout the country.
