What is the Story Behind the Cross on the Lake in Tuckerton?

So this article has no information. It is an attempt to get the information and then pass it along to our listeners. I realize I cannot find the answer to this question, so I turn to you in the community.

For years I have been driving to work around 3:30 AM and I see this beautiful sight. A cross that glows along the bank of Lake Pohatcong in Downtown Tuckerton. I see it from Route 9 as I pass the Tuckerton Seaport.

Now I know the answer may be simple and come quick, but that’s fine we will then know about this landmark and we can share it with others, I can’t be the only person who has seen the cross glowing on the lake and wondered, “what is the story behind this?”.

I will say this and add this to my article. I think that this symbolism is good, especially with all we have been through with the Coronavirus Pandemic. Regardless of what religion, if any, you follow.....a cross symbolizes Christ, faith and hope, at least that’s how I interpret a cross. This is a very holy time of year with Lent about to begin (Wednesday) and Passover next month. I think seeing this cross illuminated on the lake is beautiful and just gives you a nice thought as you drive by and we need this positive symbolism to help us stay on tract during these turbulent times.
