The cross appears in a window. The extraordinary real photo
The glowing image of the cross examination attracts believers,. Shirley Cross is located next to her bathroom window, which shows the image of a bright cross that appears after dark and comes from a lamppost behind her house. The image has drawn crowds of believers and people looking for curiosity to see what some say is a sign of God.
In a window in a simple bathroom in a modest house in the subdivision of Kelleyland, the image of an illuminated cross caught the attention, not only of homeowners, but of residents throughout the city. For the Cross family, the mysterious image of a cross, which appears in the frosted glass bathroom window, is a good omen that God is watching. Some see a cross. Others see many. Some see images of a crown of thorns or an angel. Everyone seems to interpret the image differently. If you visit Shirley Cross's house in Dublin in 1804, preferably after 20:30, chances are you'll see neighbors directing traffic and crowds of people waiting to stay in the Cross family's bath tub to see the bright image.
On Monday around 50 people waited to enter Cross's house. Charlotte Clark patiently waited for her turn. "I saw something about it on television," said Clark. "I've heard of people and I wanted to see it too." Indeed, the word of the mysterious luminescent cross in the Cross family home attracted hundreds of visitors. The cross-shaped light was first noticed in its opaque bathroom window almost two weeks ago, surprising the family, Cross said. His 22-year-old daughter Roncey Miles, a pizzeria, was the first to see the picture. “I was in the bathroom and looked at the window. Suddenly I noticed a small cross, ”said Miles, who tried to convince her to look at it. She refused.
A few days later, Miles saw the image again. "When I returned days later and saw the cross even bigger than before, my heart fell," said Miles. This time, Miles said, he showed his mother and the rest of the image. Cross and Miles felt that something important was going on. "I think it's a sign of God," said Miles. Cross and Miles soon had the sheriff's office of the Parish of Rapides to see the cross. "(The deputy) said: 'You have a cross in your window,'" said Cross. "It looks like a 3D image."
Cross, who is a devoted Christian and a lifelong Baptist, said that for the family, the cross not only provided religious inspiration but was also associated with positive events in the lives of family members and some visitors. . Cross's grandson Eric, who will soon be joining the United States Navy, said that after months of looking for work, he finally got one. And that the family named Croce now houses a mysterious cross has not escaped these believers. "The Cross family with the cross ... is not exceptional," said Eric Cross.
Most nights, cars flock to Dublin Road and pilgrims line up to see the cross. Miles is happy to see so many people who want to see it. "It is shocking to see so many people, people my age, people I went to school with," he said. Keraneicia Aaron, 7, smiled after seeing the image in the small bathroom. "I think it means something to God and to us," he said. The most likely explanation for the appearance of the cross is a halogen lamppost near the back yard. The light, which shines on the opaque window, seems to form the cross-shaped image.
Behind the house of the cross is the Cabana Mobile Home Park. In the mobile home directly behind the Cross is Ricky Beauregard. Beauregard has been busy working on his car and hasn't seen the image of the cross. However, his daughter saw him and said "it was something to see". "I have seen people out there who were standing in line like a movie ... as if waiting to see 'The Passion of Christ'," said Beauregard, who added that he plans to see it. Behind the Beauregard mobile home is the lamppost in question. In 20 years the lamppost has been there, it has never made an image look like a cross, Cross said. She is not worried about detractors and debunkers. His appearance is influencing people in a positive way.
“If you think it's a trick, then it's a trick. If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, "he said concretely. “I'm not trying to prove anything. Come in, look and then come back to me. Everyone has a different story to tell after seeing it. "Jim Knoch, chief engineer of Cleco's Mandeville office, said that what they could see is the light that refracts so that a cross or a plus sign is visible." it sounds like a double refraction, "said Knoch." The light could polarize in different directions: one horizontal and one vertical. “This combination of light emanating from a mottled bulb source and coming from a frosted glass pane could easily give the appearance of a cross rather than a dot-shaped point of light.
From a religious point of view, Rev. Buddy Martin, pastor of the Christian Challenge Church in Pineville, said that while he hasn't seen the picture, he understands the attraction. "I don't put much stock in those things," Martin said. "People are interested because their hearts are for the Lord." Rev. Donny Granvel of the Mount Zion Baptist Missionary Church said he had heard of the image of the cross. He understands that in this society people are looking for spiritual signs. However, going to church and reading the Bible is much more important for those seeking truth, he said.
"Faith should rest in the word of God," said Granvel, "not in any particular sign." Scientific explanations and skeptical comments do not discourage those who believe in supernatural possibilities. Neighbor Andrewnette Sampson is amazed at what she witnessed in the bathroom window of the Cross. "It was so amazing," said Sampson on the image, "so breathtaking." Zelma Seals McCoy said before entering the bathroom that she had not seen the cross, but "felt" it. Once in the bathroom, McCoy was heard saying “I see the thorns. I see the thorns. " After exiting the bathroom, McCoy said, "God is real."
