The Glorious Cross of Dozulé is a postulated illuminated Catholic cross coloured white and blue, 738m tall with arms 123m long, which means with an exact proportion of a ratio of 3 between the vertical and horizontal lengths. It is called Glorious Cross, in order to distinguish it from the Cross of Love of Dozulé, realized on a scale of 1/100 on that of the Glorious One, that is 7.38m high with arms 1.23m long.

Jesus of Nazareth has triumphed over death. His Reign is eternal.
He is coming to conquer the world and time.
Mercy my God, for those who blaspheme You,
forgive them, for they do not know what they do.
Mercy my God, for the scandal in the world,
deliver them from the spirit of satan.
Mercy my God, for those who run away from You,
give them the appreciation for the Holy Eucharist.
Mercy my God, for those who will come repentant to the Glorious Cross,
may they find there Peace and Joy in God our Saviour.
Mercy my God, so that Your Kingdom may come, but save souls,
there is still time, for the time is drawing near,
And Behold, I am coming. Amen.
Come Lord Jesus!
