Overview
- An anonymous group erected a five-metre wooden cross overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday on the empty Knardijk plinth along the A6 as a Christmas message.
- The Province of Flevoland removed the structure on Thursday, a day after it appeared.
- A small metal plate on the cross quoted Philippians 2, and the group said it symbolized Jesus overcoming evil.
- The spokesperson said the installers caused no damage, remained anonymous, and did not clarify whether they had permission.
- A provincial spokesperson could not say why it was taken down, while online reactions ranged from praise to objections and the site has been vacant since De Tong was removed about a year ago after repeated copper thefts.
