Hubiles Propitiatory Cross
Hubiles Propitiatory Cross submitted by ladrin : Massive stone cross (Vote or comment on this photo)
Massive but low propitiatory stone cross standing by the road at the end of the village Hubiles. On its face side are hardly visible symbols of an axe and flail (on the picture with information board highlighted).

Local rumour tells a story about fierce quarrel and subsequent scrimmage of a farmer and carpenter about confessional things. They both died and the people erected the cross for the Catholic one and the stone for the Protestant. The stone stands about 200 m away and is called Long Stone.

      It wasn't showing as the page didn't have a Category set (Our Photo Pages) - now fixed - thanks. The fact that it was showing as blue on some maps seems to be a bug but all pages should have a category set.
