Israel: Plans for "Nazareth Cross" Hit Roadblocks
Appearances to the contrary, however, the cross project so far consists mainly of a glitzy Web site, considerable hype and a taint of corruption. To date no architect has been hired, no other investors have been recruited and no ground has been broken in the hollow below Nazareth's YMCA.
Another shadow hanging over the project is the hint of questionable business practices, despite a phalanx of reputable attorneys and accounting firms that Boulos says are involved in ensuring the endeavor's integrity.
The Boulos family's many business endeavors include a brief foray into a casino ship and Chapter 11 filings. Then there is Riah. The former Anglican bishop of Jerusalem is under investigation by a diocesan committee on charges of corruption and nepotism

Israel: Plans to build the world's largest cross in Nazareth
"The Nazareth Cross", the world's largest cross, is an initial private building plan under consideration, officials said Sunday.
The proposal, which is still in its planning stages, is being floated by a group of affluent Christian businessmen from Israel and abroad. The fascia of the Cross of Nazareth will be made of mosaic tiles in ston. 7.2 million tiles will cover this majestic structure, each one engraved with a name. The purchaser will be able to choose both the material and location of the tile on the Cross.
