There are already a few shrines in our area. Each wayside shrine has its own story. They are small religious monuments, usually a wooden or stone pillar standing on a path, which carries a sculptural or painted motif or devotional image (usually the image of a saint, a scene with saints or the crucified Christ).
The motivation is similar to that of wayside crosses: as an impetus for prayer on the way, as a sign of gratitude for dangers or epidemics that have been overcome, and as a reminder of accidents.
