The standard term for the crosses is troiță (pl. troițe); they are also called cruci la răscruci ("crossroads crosses", the northern part of Western Moldavia), răstigniri ("crucifixions", Maramureș), icoane ("icons", Vâlcea County), rugi ("stakes", Ținutul Pădurenilor [ro], Hunedoara County), cruci ("crosses", Transylvania and Oltenia), lemne ("wood beams", in old documents). Troiță is a word of Slavic origin, signifying three joined crosses, associated with the Holy Trinity.

The crosses are a feature of the village landscape, where they were built for divine protection in places thought dangerous. They were meant to preserve the natural order; merely looking at one would confirm the presence of God. The cross is usually made of hardwood, painted on one or both sides. More rarely, they are carved with solar motifs. Some are made of stone or metal. With time and technological advance, simple designs gave way to complex elements.

The crosses recall a pre-Christian time when people would set up ritual columns or altars in places where the cosmic peace was disturbed by evil spirits, hoping to restore order. Crossroads have also been attracted mystical powers since antiquity; their mythological significance acquired a religious one with the adoption of Christianity, given their cross shape. Columns and poles gave way to crosses, so that the troiță represents “an ad hoc synthesis between the ancient and Christian strata”
According to Romulus Vulcănescu [ro], the troiță is "the most primitive extant form of religious sanctuary and sacred popular worship". He defines a sanctuary as a place proclaimed holy and respected as such by the people, out of magical, mythical or religious motives. These objects are found in the village center, at the village entrance and exit, at crossroads, unclean places, hillocks and, generally speaking, where the physical and spiritual worlds merge.
Often, the crosses are surrounded by a shelter, with a door towards the road and windows at the sides. Travelers hit by rainstorms can wait inside.

The Celtic cross has a fascinating history that dates back much further than Christianity. It was first used by pagans in the worship of the sun and was known as a Sun Cross or Sun Wheel. Later, it became a Christian symbol, with the circle in the cross representing the sun. The earliest examples of Celtic crosses date back to the ninth century in Ireland and Scotland. Although its true origins are unknown, it is believed to have been influenced by the Chi Rho symbol popularized by the Roman emperor Constantine. Irish stone crosses developed from slab crosses, with the first true 'Celtic Cross' appearing by at least the 8th century.

December 7, 2009: Traces of snow were recorded
According to available information, the last time it snowed in San Francisco, California was in February 1976
The earliest stone crosses are in the extreme south-west of Scotland, in the Rhinns and Machars of Dumfries and Galloway. At Kirkmadrine, near the Mull of Galloway, and at Whithorn and Glasserton there are crosses inscribed on stone, some of them as grave markers and at St Ninian’s Cave on native rock.
"The association of St Ninian with this area is a powerful one; the presence of natural crosses (formed by veins of quartz in masses of grey stone) on the foreshore at St Ninian’s Cave may well have led the saint to choose this area for his mission. Peculiar to the area is a number of curious ‘disc-headed’ crosses to be seen in the Whithorn Priory Museum and in the parish church of Kirkinner, in which the cross form is only hinted at. Almost human in their appearance, they linger in the mind.
Of very different character are the crosses of Argyll and the isles, and of other parts of western Scotland influenced by Viking and Gaelic-Celtic immigrants."

Medieval Anatomical Drawings Featured Heart Shape
According to this theory, the heart shape may have been born when artists and scientists from the Middle Ages attempted to draw representations of ancient medical texts. In the 14th century, for example, the Italian physicist Guido da Vigevano made a series of anatomical drawings featuring a heart that closely resembles the one described by Aristotle.
