Statues of fertility of the ground

I had been wondering why some homes had statues

of Virgin Mary or of the crusified Christ on their

property. I thought it kind of strange, knowing that

most people are poor. How could they afford these

statues!! One day I asked Clarence about them, and he

told me that they were to bring blessings to homes.

When we were driving in southern Poland this past

week, we saw lots of these statues at the corners of

farmers' fields. I asked again, and Clarence said that

they will bring the blessing of fertility to

fields. Here are some pictures of the statues.

I think this one had the year 1901 engraved on to it.

When we saw this one, we thought that these people

 had really gone all the way.

This is what was inside that little building.

We don't know what message this is

supposed to give to us.
