Not only one cross greets the hiker here, but a group of three crosses - as the name "Les Trois Croix" suggests - we find on this mountain. A wayside cross or summit cross commemorates Jesus Christ, namely the middle one. The other two are not here without reason: According to biblical tradition, Jesus Christ was not condemned to death by crucifixion alone, but together with two criminals (see, for example, the evangelist Luke 22:33):
+ "They came to the place called the Place of the Skull, and there they crucified him and the criminals, one on his right and the other on his left." +
