For the last couple weeks, the cross atop Mount Royal has not illuminated the night skyline. The 80-year-old structure is being sand-blasted, repainted and refitted with new multi-coloured, energy-efficient lights. This million-dollar makeover is supposed to be finished in February 2009.
I wonder what colours – besides the traditional white and passed-pope-purple – the new cross will feature?

Really? You have to guess? It will turn blue of course. I’ll give you three guesses as to when and why.
Blue on St. Jean-Baptiste! (also red for AIDS awareness)
What do I win?
How about pink for Gay Pride week? (DiversCité)?
bleu-blanc-rouge for when the Habs win the Stanley Cup, I hope.
The cross goes pink for pride… that’ll be the day.
Green on St Patrick’s day?
