After a number of years, the people of Morden, who had seen the wooden cross, decided to erect another one, to keep alive the tradition of this episode of the Expulsion of the Acadians. This was in 1887 when an oak cross was erected, as close as possible to the location where the first cross stood, which location has been eroded by the sea. It was replaced in 1920 by a third cross, this time made of rounded beach stones. As people who were coming to see the cross were increasing in number, it was decided twenty five years ago, that is in 1964, to build here a park and to erect a more artistic cross, the one that I described above. Its unveiling took place the 29th of August of that year... http://web.archive.org/web/20010228045517/ http://www.ccfne.ns.ca/~museum/english/archives/articles/47.htm These links were accessed and found to be valid on 09 December 2012. |
