A family from Michigan was enjoying a day at Fort Lauderdale Beach in Florida when they stumbled upon something extraordinary—a huge 20-foot wooden cross covered in barnacles. This unexpected discovery left them amazed.
Greg Gay, one of the family members, shared his thoughts on the timing of the find, saying, “Why would the sea wash it up right then if it wasn’t meant for us to find?”
Since the cross was discovered, many people have been calling it a “holy sign” and a moment of “divine timing.” Frank Talerico, who owns a nearby hotel, sees it as a symbol of protection. On the same day the cross appeared, his sister had a bad dream and decided to pray. Not long after, the cross washed ashore.
“She told me she had a bad feeling and prayed,” Frank said. “I thanked her, but then the cross appeared, which felt like more than a coincidence.”
Frank’s hotel plans to keep the cross, welcoming anyone who wants to visit, see it, and take photos.
Photos of the cross quickly went viral, touching people around the world. Many social media users believe the cross carries a message from above. One person wrote, “As a Christian, I know it’s not the cross of Jesus, but it’s a holy sign for those lost in darkness.” Another added, “It came from our heavenly father, and he’s trying to tell us something!”
This remarkable event has sparked hope and reflection in many who see the cross as a sign of faith.
