A movie has been released that chronicles the 38,000-mile, 40-year journey of one man who carried a cross around the world.
The Cross: The Arthur Blessitt Story documents Blessitt's walk through more than 300 nations. Blessitt left Hollywood on Christmas Day in 1969 on a nationwide walk with his 12-foot wooden cross. The following year, Blessitt says he felt led to carry the cross in war-torn Northern Ireland. That was followed by a nation-by-nation walk around the entire world.
He says his journey allowed him to share the gospel with countless people.
"I've walked around the world. The Guinness Book of Records says it's the longest walk in documented human history," he shares. "But I didn't just walk -- I carried a cross. So that suddenly gave purpose and meaning to every person who saw it. [They knew] he's on a mission, and the cross is about Jesus."
The movie, produced by Gener8xion Entertainment, opened in theaters March 27 and is opens in more cities on April 10.
