Cross Appears on Holy Thursday

Cross Appears on April 5, 2012


By Loci B. Lenar

On the morning of Holy Thursday, I photographed a cross which appears annually on my property and backyard fence. Rays of sunlight is creating an image of a cross that is surrounded by a shield. This phenomenon first began in 2005 at my residence in Mine Hill, NJ, USA.

It usually happens during Lent and sometimes on other occasions. I believe it's a sign from Our Lord to share with others in order to help lead people back to God and their Christian faith.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.  Psalm 84:11

Scripture tells us that the day before Jesus was crucified he shared his Last Supper with his disciples on a Thursday, celebrating Passover.

Holy Week is an important time to reflect and renew our spiritual life through the gospels of Jesus Christ and the Eucharist (Communion). Easter and the resurrection is a testament to God's love because we share in the redemptive power of the cross through Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”  John 8:12

It's interesting to note that the cross first appeared in 2012 on St. Patrick’s Day which by the way is celebrated on March 17th. The above photos are from Holy Thursday.

On Wednesday, April 4th, I went to St. Mary's Rectory and sat down with my spiritual advisor, Fr. Richard Tartaglia and shared the photographs from St. Patrick’s Day and discussed spiritual matters as well. St. Mary's Catholic Church is located on Myers Avenue, Denville, New Jersey.

  1. This is very beautiful. I have the same phenomena happen at my home too. At certain times of the year, the sun reflects off my window onto the neighbors house and it looks the same as pictured in your article. Whether or not it is explainable, its good to have reminders that God is present always in our lives. Thanks for the post. God Bless.

  2. Greg, Thank you very much for sharing your comments about the cross.

    My family and I have been unable to find anything in our windows that might cause such an image or reflection on the fence. However, it's good to know that others are experiencing a similar phenomena. God is indeed making his presence known through signs and wonders!

    Perhaps you can photograph the image the next time it appears on your neighbors house and share some photos with visitors of this blog?

    God bless,
