Mt. Davidson cross lights up San Francisco for 99th Easter

For the first time since the start of the pandemic, people will once again hike to the top of the mountain for a sunrise service guided by the iconic Mount Davidson Cross.

"It's great to have this tradition continue," said Jacquie Proctor, a local historian whose long championed the site and even penned a book on it. The 103 ft. tall cross was lit Saturday night for the 99th year. The Council of Armenian-American Organizations of Northern California has owned the cross since 1997 and has worked to preserve the tradition."I think it's amazing that this has been going on since 1923 people have been hiking up here before dawn - as many as 50,000 people when the cross was lit in 1934 and during WWII," said Jacquie.

"I bet there will be a lot more people coming this year because it didn't happen for two - years - you can't take it for granted anymore." The towering testament to tradition is perched atop San Francisco's highest peak at 938 ft. Proctor calls it a longstanding symbol of hope.

You use to could see the cross on the mountain from a distance now you can’t cuz they let the trees overgrowth cover it for political correctness
