The Cross discovered in the rubble at Ground Zero became a symbol of healing, hope and faith for rescue and recovery workers.
An Astonishing discovery, God's presence felt at Ground Zero.
To the astonishment of recovery workers at Ground Zero, the Cross appeared miraculously from the wreckage on the site of the former World Trade Center.

A Unique Testament to the Rescue and Recovery Workers At Ground Zero.

To mark the end of the rescue and recovery effort at Ground Zero, which was completed many months earlier than the most optimistic expectations, ArtAID distribute a special "Thank You" to those that worked tirelessly at the site of the former World Trade Center. Featuring a piece of steel beams discovered in the rubble in the form of a cross, a banner was also produced and signed by hundreds of workers at the closing ceremony at St. Paul's Chapel.

Keith Piaseczny, left, an artist from ArtAID who created the idea to make a poster out of a cross with writings by grieving people, consoles Rhonda Villamia, a Red Cross and Salvation Army volunteer, as they look at "The Cross at Ground Zero."
This print is currently on view at St. Paul's Chapel and in the collection at the New York Historical Society as part of the Radical Hospitality exhibition, which recognizes the extraordinary outpouring of community spirit in the wake of this great tragedy.
Flanked by construction and recovery workers, police Chaplain Fr. Brian Jordan blesses the Cross.

Andrew Macchio, who worked tirelessly for the Emergency Response Dvision of the DSNY, signs a banner print of the Cross that was presented to volunteers and recovery workers at the closing ceremony at St. Paul's Chapel.
ArtAID sponsored the creation and distribution the "Never Forget" Cross at Ground Zero in honor of the recovery workers and volunteers who worked at Ground Zero and in memory of all who perished in the World Trade Center tragedy on September 11, 2001. This inspirational image was produced by ArtAID, and has been distributed at no charge to recovery workers and volunteers working at Ground Zero in recognition of their dedication and hard work.
For everyone effected by the tragedy who wish to have this image, it is free to download for personal use and may be printed by anyone with a computer and desktop printer. You are encouraged to print and share this image with others. No one is permitted to resell this image without permission. ArtAID does not seek to profit of this tragedy, nor should anyone else!

The rescue workers who were the first to respond to the September 11th tragedy are now in danger. A massive cloud of dangerous substances (asbestos, dioxins, and microscopic shards of fiberglass, to name a few) was created when the towers collapsed, and the rescue workers and clean up crew were exposed to these substances at dangerously high levels. A variety of respiratory diseases, including but not limited to mesothelioma, are being identified at an alarming rate among our heroes. Let us keep our brave Firefighters, EMTs, police persons and clean up crew members in our prayers- because now they are suffering from a whole new tragedy.
