The tradition of placing conciliation crosses was brought to Polish lands from the West. It was primarily characteristic for Germany, although we encounter it from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia. Simple and austere stone crosses were placed by the killers in the places where a murder had been committed. The placement of the cross was the last act of repentance. In the Cieszyn area, we find them in the city itself, in Pruchna and on the slopes Łazek near Brenna.
