NOTEWORTHY The Chaldean Holy Cross Monument Located in Jamul, California, and erected on December 14, 2023, the Chaldean Holy Cross Monument is dedicated to the Savior, Jesus Christ. A magnificent 37.9-feet-tall, the Chaldean Holy Cross Monument (with pedestal), rises 900 feet above sea level. Placed atop a Rancho San Diego hill by Chinook helicopter, it is the tallest in San Diego County. The Monument is located on Via Caliente del Sol, and faces true north; in other words, “the Holy Cross faces the Heavens.” The monument, made possible by Sam and Evone Attisha and their family, was erected in memory of Mary and Yelda Attisha. In June 1976, Mary and Yelda, the Chaldean parents of six boys and one girl, landed as immigrants in San Diego, California. Just Chinook helicopter delivering the 35- foot 20,000-pound Chaldean Holy Cross Monument in Jamul, CA. like hundreds of other Chaldean families before them, they left Iraq due to political, cultural, and economic reasons to settle in America. Like most immigrants, the Attisha family had to start from almost nothing. This sacred site near San Diego serves as a focal point for the Chaldean community in the area, offering a place for gatherings, prayer, and reflection. The Chaldean Holy Cross Monument stands tall, not only as an architectural marvel but as a living testament to the resilience, faith, and cultural legacy of the Chaldean community—a cherished landmark embodying history, spirituality, and unity. It will serve as a symbolic memorial for persecuted Christians throughout Iraq and all of the Middle East.
