Hiking

A wayside shrine or wayside shrine is a small religious monument, usually standing on a path as a pillar made of wood or stone, which carries a sculptural or painted votive or devotional image (usually the image of a saint, a scene with saints or Christ crucified). . The erection of wayside shrines shows a widespread form of popular piety. The motivation is similar to that of wayside crosses: as an impetus for prayer on the way, as a sign of gratitude for dangers or epidemics that have been overcome, and as a reminder of accidents.
