Travel along any road in any predominantly Christian country, you're likely to see the odd roadside cross commemorating such tragic traffic accident. Costa Rica is no different in that respect. The "logo" of Christianity; it can be seen incorporated into the architectural design on buildings; worn as a talisman or charm against evil in the form of a crucifix (the body of Christ on a cross).
Before it was adopted as the logo of Christianity, the cross and crucifixion was a death fit only for a slave, and a murderer's punishment, the cross was naturally looked upon with the most profound horror, and closely connected with the ideas of pain, of guilt, and of ignominy, it's difficult for present-day understanding to acknowledge the disgrace linked with crucifixion during Roman times after the cross has been glorified for so many centuries.
The elevation of the cross had its genesis in the celebrated vision of Roman Emperor Constantine (312 A.D.), that preceded his conversion and culminating with Christianity becoming the state religion of the Roman Empire.
