A Field Cross is a common memorial in the landscape. They are usually found at the intersection of field roads and streets. It is a religious expression that reminds the passer-by, during his life, that Christ died on the cross.

Field crosses exist in wooden, cast iron and stone variants. They were placed by wealthy individuals, often farmers, or by neighborhood associations raising money for them. In this way believers thought they were doing a beneficial work and thus securing a place in the Kingdom of God…
Take a moment to linger under the watchful eye of our Lord.

This wayside cross stands next to the linden tree. Note also the statue of Mary at the bottom of the cross.
