Roadside cross

Sacral small monument

Roadside crosses, all those open-air crosses or so-called religious symbols, or groups of statues, that were not erected in the scene of the church's liturgical acts (church, calvary). They are usually not only on roadsides, but also in notable or prominent places (riverbank, edge of village, field, beginning of fields, scene of accidents, catastrophes). In terms of their design, they can be the work of rural artists, stonemason masters, village carpenters, carving specialists, and also cast, artificial stone and iron crosses. ; Their corpus is either carved from stone or cut from tin sheet, which is also a so-called tin Christ, which is also a typical folk genre of the last century. Their founding motif is usually an individual vow or gratitude, but often also the perpetuation of the scene of misfortunes.
