On the hill of Tao Fong Shan, looking up at the Cross, we can see our salvation, looking down at the city, we can see all sorts of lifeforms. The Big Cross was engraved with “It is finished”, which reminds followers that we ought to carry on the Kingdom’s mission. <\/span><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/span><\/p>\n

Forty feet high, the Big Cross was built in 1958. Standing on the hill of Tao Fong Shan, looking up at the Cross, we can see our salvation; looking down at the city, we can see life in all its forms. Rev. Karl Ludvig Reichelt (1877-1952), the founder of Tao Fong Shan, often held the evening worship service here with his students.<\/p>\n
