A huge granite stone with a design of a cross and three lines of ropes has been discovered at Gomoa-Ojobi in the Central Region.
The miracle granite stone was discovered by Sarcon Quarry Ltd at the community off the Kasoa-Winneba road.
The black and white granite stone, with the brown and red cross colour, releases fragrance when water is poured on the cross.
During an inspection of the stone on Tuesday, the Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs Catherine Ablema Afeku, said that the ministry would deploy technical experts,including an archaeologists and a geologist, to examine the formation of the granite stone for further study and action.
According to her, the ministry would prepare a suitable site to place the stone and decorate it for tourists.
Pilgrimage
With the discovery of a miracle granite stone with a cross, Mrs Afeku said that Ghanaians and foreigners could go on pilgrimage at the site and pray.
“We would like to lift it from here, prepare a suitable and decorated place for it, while we provide visitors information, including the time it was discovered, how long it has been and other vital information for tourists,” she said.
She said she was of the belief that God’s hand was in the discovery of the cross in Ghana, adding that Ghana was a blessed country.
“If the stone is well kept, it will generate a lot of tourist activities for the country.
“It is exciting, knowing that people who want to go to Calvary to pray can come here to pray; wherever two or more people are gathered, God is there with them.
“I am also excited that this is happening at the time that we are celebrating the birth of Christ, and we are grateful that the discoverer did not destroy it,” she added.
Discoverer
For his part, Mr El Aridi Choaki Youssef, the Quarry Operations Manager of the company who discovered the granite stone, explained that he discovered the stone in November during a process of breaking the rock with machines.
According to him, a greater force pushed him when he was processing the chippings to where the granite stone was.
Although the machine was used for the cutting of the rock, he said the particular stone would not break and, therefore, he had to use his manpower to remove the stones from the area.
Although he did not know much about Christ, Mr Youssef said he was of the belief that the discovery of the granite stone with the cross was a miracle.
“I do not have much knowledge about the Christian religion, but what I can say to Ghana and the world at large is that we need to wake up again to know exactly where we are going and this is a good sign for Ghana.
“What we found in November was a big miracle. God has really blessed Ghana,” Mr Youssef said.

Yeah, keep on controlling the masses. the light would definitely shine one day, the truth would always come up. Use your God-given brains Ghanaians to develop yourselves and your family, and leave this propagandist to their peril.
That is a nice way to convince an id iot to buy a piece of stone.
LOL! Very funny. Mr Youssef sees a good opportunity to make money. I wonder if he is an Israelite. It won't surprise me since I met an Israelite who told me that all the places in Israel claiming to be connected to Biblical records are fake and a means to generate huge sums of money from ***barred word*** Christians, Jews and Muslims. Same reason why all the major religions want control over that city. It all about 'eating', AKA 'chop chop'. I do agree that we must also use the same technique to make money
I am a mining engineer and I an shock how gullible we can be. There is nothing miraculous about this it is a normal rock formation and we see these kind of things everyday. it depend on your blast pattern. Ask them whether the cross was a stand alone symbol. It was a continuous and several layer that crosses each other and that piece is just a piece of it crossing at that point. Let us learn and stop believing everything hook and sink
The cross, rock, fragrance, is all about Christ 1 Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that ROCK WAS CHRIST. 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the FRAGRANCE of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the FRAGRANCE of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. TO GOD BE THE GLORY. NO OTHER TIME LIKE THIS. JESUS IS INDEED LORD AND THE WAY IS THE CROSS. ALWAYS
God reveals Himself to His People in many ways. This is a sign to those who are grabbing all the Country's resources, that there is an Owner of this World, and that, sooner or latter, they will be judged accordingly. The False prophets with fake miracles and prophecies such as the NPP's Rev. Owusu Bempah whose prophecies come only on 31st December and the likes, the anointing oil pastors and all fake men of God. God is warning them to stop deceiving His People.
disgraceful people. aint you ashmed that someone destroying your land find this and what is she thinking of doing?moving it to where. people in this country i belive we are cursed
I totally agree with you.Part of the revenue generated from this tourist site, should be used in developing that community.
The Minister of tourism should not remove the stone from where it was discovered. There is no suitable place to place the stone than it original place.The site should rather be developed to attract tourist.
We should becareful ooo else we end up worshiping something. Let's shine our eyes well. The devil can work in mysterious ways.
