Se beskrivning på engelska för mer information.Holy cross made of marble stone . The priest holds this cross by his hand while he blesses the church members both inside and outside the church compound."The culture of using stone for crosses is mainly found in the north and central, but this does not mean that these materials can not be traced, rarely, in the east, west and south. The reason why these crosses are mainly found in the north and central regions is that in these areas thrown stones were used to sacrifice animals to God during the old testament period. This inspired them to use stone crosses as holy tools, whereas during the same period the [people] in east, west and south were pagans who used stone for making gods for themselves. This makes them uncomfortable using stone for making holy crosses from. Due to this reason these crosses are mainly used in north and central and rarely used in east west and south.".
