    The cross at the top of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela from Rully towards Mercurey. The view in two directions. In Rully and Mercurey.

      Once again, the hiker – or pilgrim – passing by here will notice that this extremely exposed location was obviously chosen with care as the site for a wayside cross. The proverbial "ravages of time" have already left their mark on this small, sacred stone monument: the capital, which tops the round shaft supporting the cross, is damaged, as is the end piece of the longitudinal beam above the crossing. The cross has no body, but the attentive observer will notice one special feature: at the intersection of the longitudinal beam and the crossbeam, a heart can be seen, interpreted here in the Christian sense as a symbol of God's infinite love for humanity, whose son, Jesus Christ, redeemed us through his death on the cross.
