This cross formerly topped the Rossland Mater Misericordiae Hospital which was constructed in 1897. When the hospital site was renovated to condos about 15 years ago, the cross was carefully removed and now is on display just inside the Calvary cemetery entrance. Future plans are to display a plaque explaining this cross’ origin. The work was done by B&N Blasting Contractors Greg Holm (right) and Mike Broughton (left) who donated labour and equipment to anchor the cross. (Submitted)
