In Memoriam. The Laatre Cross Pine

Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the old pine known as the Laatre cross pine which has dried. Since old times, crosses have been cut into trees when people are buried. This pine was the oldest living cross-tree. The trunk of the tree is thickly covered with cross marks. The dried tree is still standing tall, but possibly not for long. Folk beliefs claim the feller of a cross tree to always have an accident or even die later.
