    Hiking

    Cross brought on the backs of men, 4 villagers carried it in detached pieces to the summit

    Hiking

    Each of these crosses, which hikers often encounter in the fields or, as here, on the summit of a mountain, is a sign of remembrance of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. "With us on earth, there is His memory, but in the heavenly kingdom, there is His presence: This presence is the joy of those who have already attained bliss. Memory is our comfort, as we are still wanderers traveling towards the fatherland." (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, c. 1090-1153)
