Tips

Rogier Van Bunnik 🇳🇱

July 6, 2023

A road cross or a field cross is a common memorial in Catholic regions at the intersection of roads and streets. It is a religious expression that reminds the passerby that Christ died on the cross.

Road crosses exist in wooden, cast iron and stone variants. They were placed by wealthy people, often farmers, or by neighborhood associations who collected money for this purpose. If a road cross is placed outside built-up areas, it is called a field cross.

If the figure of Christ does not put his head on the right but on the left shoulder, one speaks of a Wrong Dear Lord. There are a number of waycrosses that informally bear this name.
