Plateau de la Croix

Présentes sur tout le territoire, symboles de l’imprégnation du christianisme dans la vie rurale, les croix se suivent, mais ne se ressemblent pas. Certaines sont de bois, quand d’autres sont de fer ou de pierre. Certaines se dressent sur les sommets quand d’autres sont cantonnées dans la vallée. Quant à la mission qui leur est confiée, ce peut être la matérialisation de points de passage comme les croisées de chemins, le repérage de lieux stratégiques ou symboliques, ou encore la signalisation d’un lieu de procession ou de bénédiction. Je suis de ces dernières. De celles qui furent plantées pour rappeler la montée en alpage au début de l’été et la bénédiction des terres, des maisons et des troupeaux par le curé du village.
