According to legend, two brothers went into the forest to get wood and brushwood. One had a sword, the other a sickle (depicted on the penance cross). In the evening, they met again and got into an argument about who had been more diligent. The argument escalated, and the brothers attacked each other with their weapons. Mortally wounded, both regretted their actions, asked each other for forgiveness, and died reconciled.
