A Michigan family vacationing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, stumbled upon an astonishing sight: a colossal 20-foot wooden cross covered in barnacles. Greg Gay, awestruck, questioned, “Why would the sea finally cough it up at just that moment if it wasn’t meant for us to find it?” Many believe it to be a “holy sign” with “divine timing.” Frank Talerico, owning a nearby hotel, sees it as a symbol of protection. The day the cross appeared, Talerico’s sister, troubled by a bad dream, prayed; shortly after, the cross emerged. Talerico plans to keep the cross at his hotel, inviting people to view and photograph it. Images of the cross have gone viral, evoking powerful reactions on social media, with users interpreting it as a divine message. One commenter, emphasizing its symbolic importance, remarked, “It came from our heavenly father; he’s trying to tell us something!”
