This cross with its accompanying symbols of Christ’s passion was found in The Pointe, part of Crystal Lake’s Immanuel Lutheran Church’s ministry.

There's the dice symbolizing how the Roman soldiers decided who would get Jesus' cloak.

The spikes symbolize how He was attached to the cross.

I think I see a sponge symbolizing how he was offered vinegar to quench his thirst.

Does the purple cloth represent Christ's royalty?

I saw it after the conclusion of the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce’s City Hall candidates’ luncheon on Tuesday.

And, Jesus, of course, is missing.

He has arisen with the promise of new life for us all.
