Das Turmkreuz der alten Bergkirche aus dem Jahre 1630 hat einen Ehrenplatz am alten Haupteingang der St. Lambertus Kirche Birgelen erhalten. Es wurde inmitten der Wirrnisse des Dreißigjährigen Krieges von den Gläubigen aus Birgelen auf dem Turm der alten Bergkirche errichtet (diese wurde durch die Friedhofskapelle ersetzt). Es erinnert daran, dass Gegenwart und Vergangenheit im Kreuz eine lebendige Einheit sind, ohne die unser Leben als Christ auf die Zukunft hin nicht gelebt werden kann.
