Ground Zero Cross: Found by excavator Frank Silecchia and consecrated by Father Brian Jordan

NEW YORK---Millions of Americans know the story of the Ground Zero Cross, the twisted steel beams that fell from the wreckage of the World Trade Center on 9/11, beams in the shape of a cross. In 2011, a group called American Atheists sued the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in an effort to keep the cross out of the Museum. After more than a year of litigation, a federal judge dismissed American Atheists’ lawsuit, with the court noting: "The Museum's purpose is to tell the history surrounding September 11, and the cross … helps tell part of that history." The court properly concluded that the cross did not violate the constitution. "No reasonable observer would view the artifact is endorsing Christianity," the court said. The fight isn’t over, however, with the atheists vowing to appeal. [link]
