Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : Croix des Argnats. Place de l'église, Marols, Loire. « Les croix des argnats présentent surtout un décor caractéristique de billettes, une sur chaque pan oblique aux quatre extrémités du croisillon, et dix sur le socle cylindrique, lorsqu’il est conservé : ce sont les argnats, furoncles en patois. On suppose qu’ils représentent des bubons de peste et que ces croix étaient censées protéger contre les maladies contagieuses. Une tradition orale raconte que l’on venait déposer une pièce sur un argnat du socle pour être guéri, et que si quelqu’un venait à la voler il prenait aussi le mal. »
English: Argnat Cross. Church Square, Marols, Loire. « The Argnats crosses are mostly decorated with billets, one on each oblique pan at the four ends of the cross, and ten on the cylindrical pedestal, when it is preserved : they are the « argnats », « boils » in patois. It is supposed that they represent buboes of plague and that these crosses were supposed to protect against contagious diseases. An oral tradition tells us that a piece was placed on an argnat of the pedestal to be cured, and that if someone came to steal it he also took the wrong. »
