If you're traveling from Leesburg on Highway 7, passing through Purcellville just west of the Berlin Turnpike exit, you can look to your right and see a majestic metal cross sculpture. Within the cross, the shape of Jesus appears to have been creatively cut out by scissors.
Called the “Crux Gloria” (Cross Glorious in Latin), the sculpture is especially striking at night when the interior of the cross is illuminated. The lights that brighten its interior automatically turn on every twilight and extinguish at each sunrise.
The sculptor of the Crux Gloria, Tomas Fernandez, was a member of St. Francis De Sales in 1988 when it was erected
NOTE: The cache is across the paved street in the woods, NOT near the sculpture.
