THli V1LI.AGE: CAI^VARY 



Almost every village in the Catholic cantons has its Calvary, and in the country wayside 

 shrines are not uncommon. There are numerous villages renowned for the excellence of 

 the wood-carving they produce, and in these the Calvary is often of great artistic merit. In 

 others the design may be fantastic and the execution crude, but there is always a quaint 

 touch which redeems it from the commonplace.
