Mission cross
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mission cross (German: Missionskreuz) commemorates a "people's mission" (German: Volksmissionen) that has taken place in a parish. These were common throughout Europe prior to the 20th century, and the tradition continues. The cross is usually inscribed with the year of the mission with a common inscription like, "Save your soul!"
