      The inscription reads:

        The fact that the small sacred monument encountered here, in the form of a field cross (wayside cross), was erected in the immediate vicinity of the vineyards, creates a direct theological connection to the biblical Passion story, whose dramatic climax is the crucifixion of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, as we see him here on the stone crucifix. For according to the accounts of the Evangelists (quoted here as an example from Matthew), the 'Last Supper' states:
        + "Then he took the cup [of wine], gave thanks, and gave it to the disciples, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you; this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'" + (Matthew 26:27-28)
