Road cross Route d'Amblève - Stoumont

This road cross is at the crossroads of the Route d'Amblève and Village.

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 individuals , 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.

So this right here is a right one...
