Představ si, že se vrátíš zpět do doby, kdy byly Boží muka skoro jediným stavebním materiálem na naší zemi. V té době tu žili lidé, kteří věřili v bohy a doufali v jejich pomoc.
Bylo to jako při cestě do ciziny, ale místo lodí se jezdilo na koních nebo pěšky. Cesty byly nebezpečné a lidí bylo málo. Proto byla postavena Boží muka – kamenný sloupec s reliéfy a symboly. Tyto symboly pomáhaly lidem udržet si cestu, protože nikdo neměl mobilní telefon.
