This moving wayside cross was sculpted in a primitive, stylized manner by a farmer named Pierre Plante. It was erected on his land, on the southern rang of the parish of Sainte-Victoire-de-Sorel, in July 1888, after a procession petitioning heaven to end a plague of locusts ravaging the crops in the area. As the village's inhabitants recall, the inscription INRI was placed upside down – and stayed that way.
