Marked for Service: The Plague Cross in Cologne
src: 3.bp.blogspot.com

The term crossbreed may refer to any sign placed in a building occupied by an outbreak victim; or established permanent structures, both to enable outbreaks of traffickers while minimizing the risk of transmission, or to commemorate victims of the disease in the past. Various forms of crucifixion were present in England and elsewhere in Europe, until the plague largely disappeared in the eighteenth century.

Notice of the outbreak

In moments of plague, it is common to mark the doors of victims of disease with large painted crucifixes, either in red or black paint. Later, large printed crosses are often affixed to the door. Daniel Defoe reported, at the time of the Great Plague in 1665, that the Mayor of London, in his decree, declared:

"That every house visited [by illness] is marked by a long red cross in the middle of the door, clearly visible, and with these ordinary printed words," Lord, have mercy on us, "to be placed near the same cross , there to continue until the legitimate opening of the same house. "

Around the same time, Samuel Pepys wrote on June 7, 1665:

"I did in Drury-lane seeing two or three houses marked with a red cross on the door, and" Lord have mercy on us "written there - which is a sad sight for me, being the first of that kind that remembers me I've seen. "

Market structure and "vinegar"

In some locations, stone structures are established outside established markets, as the interim market crosses the place where city and state residents can trade with each other while should minimize the risk of transmission. For example, at Macclesfield in Cheshire in 1603 and 1646, the Greenway cross "was used as a 'plague of the cross,' into which country people came to sell their provision to residents in the city."

In York, crucifixes were erected during the outbreak of plague in 1604, on the main streets about a mile outside the city, to indicate a temporary location where trade could take place. There, each crucifix holds a small puddle where the money is placed and from which it can be transferred in trade. In Derby in 1665, the headless cross or "vinegar" was established, in which water was replaced by vinegar as a disinfectant. The "stone vinegar" at Wentworth in Yorkshire should have the same origin.

In Germany, the stone cross or Pestkreuze was also established in several locations to commemorate those who died from the plague. Cross memorials for victims of individual outbreaks were also established in churches, such as at Trittenheim.

Example

  • Brugherio, Italy: Three outbreaks crossed the Piazza Roma, Viale Lombardia, and Torazza.
  • Ross-on-Wye, UK: Church page containing the Plague Cross or "Corpse Cross" commemorating 315 locals who died of the plague in 1637 and buried in mass graves.
