World Trade Center cross, Religious monument at World Trade Center Memorial, United States
Two steel beams forming a cross shape stand at the National September 11 Memorial Museum, measuring 20 feet in height and weighing several tons.
Construction worker Frank Silecchia discovered the intersecting steel beams among the ruins of 6 World Trade Center on September 13, 2001.
The steel cross became a central point for prayer gatherings and remembrance ceremonies during the recovery efforts at Ground Zero following September 11.
The World Trade Center cross remains on permanent display at the National September 11 Memorial Museum, which opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM.
The cross traveled between multiple locations, including St. Peter's Church, before finding its final place in the National September 11 Memorial Museum in 2011.
