A iron cross found in Lima in 1970 by Rev. Clair D. Siple is now part of Bemidji United Methodist Church Memorial Chapel. Created by Victor Delfin Ramirez, the piece uses iron railroad spikes welded together to symbolize Christ’s death. Weighing over 30 pounds, it hangs from the ceiling and will be lit with seasonal colors as Eastertide ends.
