12  Crosses  around  the  world

With Easter just around the corner, we've been looking through our photos of

Crosses, taken around the world over a number of years. We were inspired to see

this most powerful symbol of Christ's sacrificial love for us displayed and

celebrated in so many different cultures. Here are just 12 of the many we found.

Enjoy and share!
