July 7th - The Village Cross

There are often two crosses, one at either end, in French villages and hamlets.

Beautiful lighting. What is the significance of the two crosses? Are they at opposite ends of the town? Are they always in a particular direction, i.e., north/south or east/west?

What a wonderful thing to have on both ends. I like that. Like it is protected. :) V

Beautiful lighting and compo Chris! I didn't realize that French villages had 2 crosses. I will pay closer attention the next time we're there! :)

A nice touch as you enter town. I love the greenery surrounding it's niche.

I visited St Barbe in Bretagne last year, and came across a few of these crosses too.

An interesting practice and a beautiful old cross. I love the back light. V.

Good that you can actually see this one - in Devon they're mostly hidden in the hedges to await the unwary hedge cutter!
