The original Marian shrine "La Salette," which is referred to in this patronal feast, is located in the French Alps (Grenoble district) and is an important Marian shrine, even if it has not achieved the same level of fame as other pilgrimage sites honoring the Mother of God, such as Lourdes in the French Pyrenees or Fatima in Portugal. The hiking highlight "La Salette" can be found on komoot at the following link: + https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1861054

This memorial cross made of light wood—dedicated to the memory of a deceased monk—is one of many that bikers encounter repeatedly along the way. They are all symbols of remembrance of the crucifixion, but also of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. + "With us on earth, His memory exists, but in the kingdom of heaven is His presence: This presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers, journeying toward our fatherland." (Bernard of Clairvaux) Some passersby have placed stones at the foot of the small sacred monument.
