Field of Crosses

During the week of January 16 - 21, 2006, Foothill Community Church did display 900 three foot high white crosses, each representing 50,000 abortion deaths occurring since the l973 Roe vs. Wade Decision that legalized abortion in all 50 states in America. Altogether they represent about forty-five million American abortion deaths since 1973.  Twenty-four 4’ high red crosses, each representing 50,000 war deaths resulting from all of the American wars including our Revolutionary War will also be displayed in honor of our war deaths. The contrast in numbers shocks most first time observers.

Signage did display key Biblical references to the shedding of innocent blood. It  contrasted the numbers of abortion and American war deaths. The memorial took place during the National Sanctity of Human Life Week, which was commemorated by Evangelical Christian Churches in America every year during January.

We  encourage Christians to walk through the rows of memorial crosses and spend time in prayer.  We will have scriptural references placed on small placards through the memorial to serve as inspiration to those who decided to walk through the crosses.
