Each of these crosses, which the hiker often encounters in the fields or, as here, on the tops of the mountains, is a sign of remembrance of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. "Here on earth there is His memory, but in the Kingdom of Heaven there is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, travelling towards our homeland." (Bernard of Clairvaux)
