WHY WE LIGHT THE CROSS

Southern White Knights

From the sacred pages of the Holy Bible comes the sad sweet story of the Holy Cross of Calvary.  This Holy Cross is our symbol of sacrifice and service, and a sign of the Christian religion.  It was sanctified and made Holy almost 2000 years ago by the suffering and blood of over 50 million martyrs who died in the most Holy Faith.  The Cross stands in every Klan Den as a constant reminder that Jesus Christ is our criterion of character and his teachings our life blood, bought Holy, sanctified and sublime.  This old Cross was bathed in the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and became transformed into the symbol of Faith, Hope, and Love.  Today it is used to rally the forces of Christianity against the ever-increasing hordes of the anti-Christ and the enemies of America and the White Race.  We light the Cross - with fire to signify to the world that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world.  Where the Holy Light shall shine, there will be dispelled evil, darkness, gloom and despair.  The Light of the Truth dispels ignorance and superstition as fire purifies gold and silver, but destroys wood and stubble.  So by the fire of the Cross of Calvary, we cleanse and purify our virtues by burning out our vices with the fire of His Word.  Who can look upon this symbol, or sit in its sacred Holy light without being inspired with a Holy desire and determination to be a better person?  By this Holy Light of the Cross - we will persevere!
