On a beautiful clear day as the sun shines from above, a fascinating and ironic symbol rests on Berlin’s TV Tower. Completed in 1969, during the Cold War in East Berlin, the tower was erected to celebrate the dominance and superiority of Communism. Prior to this construction the government called for the removal of all crosses from East Berlin’s churches, with the goal of suppressing Christianity from their society. Unfortunately for the communist government, they ended up building an even larger, dominating, celebratory symbol of Christianity. Dubbed “The Pope’s Revenge”, the sphere of stainless steel shines over the city as an enormous…cross.
