Excerpt: Strongly linked to the ancient Tree of Life is the crucified Christ on a cross. To quote Joseph Campbell, ". . . Christ restored to man immortality. His cross . . . was equated with the tree of immortal life, and the fruit of that tree was the crucified Savior himself." The Cross as Art Many Latin American folk artists' crosses depict the devotional representation known as the Arma Christi - the Arms of Christ or Instruments of the Passion (the ladder, dice, nails, robe, etc). A Franciscan devotion depicting the crucified Christ accompanied by the instruments of the Passion is also represented in House Blessings, Road Crosses and others. Road Crosses (Cruces del Camino) Wayside crosses, where the wayfarer could stop to rest or to pray, are common both in Europe and in the New World. They are used as guideposts and as sites for religious ceremonies in the Andean world. They are related to weathervanes, and there is speculation that the Pre-Christian peoples used them to determine wind direction. Sometimes road crosses mark the spot of a wayfarer's accidental death, such as the descansos in northern New Mexico.
