Red Neon Crosses

Re: N.Korea Wants Illuminated Church Crosses Removed

Any South Korean nocturnal cityscape is dotted by the red neon crosses that adorn every Protestant church. It is easy to count dozens of them from any location, as even the smallest store-front church will have a steeple with an illuminated cross.

The North, tellingly, wants these removed and "would in turn think about ways to erase huge political carvings on rocky cliffs facing the South that glorify its socialist system and leaders both alive and dead."
