The world will continue to wait for a new largest crucifix.
Four years ago, when he announced plans for the landmark massive Catholic church at Ave Maria, Domino’s Pizza magnate Tom Monaghan included — with only a little less fanfare — plans for what was billed as the “largest crucifix in the world.”
The crucifix would be a 60-foot red-tinted glass and aluminum cross with a 40-foot body of Christ, a press release said.
A year later, when Monaghan revealed revised plans for the church, known as the Ave Maria Oratory, the crucifix’s height grew to 65 feet.
