"These wayside crosses were erected as visible signs and attract the attention of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and aims to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who has conquered death," as Dean Rainald M. Ollig once put it in the foreword to a publication about wayside crosses.
