This seems to imply that wayside_cross is a subclass of wayside shrine (all instances of crosses are also shrines)? What about this: http://view.stern.de/de/picture/2339744/hegner-maria-madonna-wandgemaelde-maria-licht-1920.jpg similar to this: http://c8.alamy.com/compde/ddybhx/nische-mit-einer-statue-der-maria-und-jesuskind-garmisch-partenkirchen-bayern-ddybhx.jpg Although the former, like the cross or the column, do not "enshrine" anything (you mentioned enshrining and I would agree it is a good criterion for shrines). Cheers, Martin
