The Ministère de la Culture's notice

La croix de la Passion de Monségur a été érigée en 1808. Elle est l'oeuvre du forgeron local M.Roy. Cette croix est très complète et la majorité des instruments de la Passion s'y retrouvent, répartis sur l'ensemble de la croix. Au centre, on retrouve les rayons de la Résurrection, la couronne d'épines et le calice. Reliant les extrémités de la traverse au montant, les lances terminées par une éponge sont disposées en diagonale. Enfin, l'écriteau portant les initiales INRI est surmonté par le coq du reniement de Saint-Pierre qui domine l'ensemble.

The Cross of the Passion of Monségur was erected in 1808. It is the work of the local blacksmith M. Roy. This cross is very complete and the majority of the instruments of the Passion are found there, distributed over the whole of the cross. At the centre, one finds the rays of the Resurrection, the crown of thorns and the chalice. Connecting the ends of the crossbar to the upright, the lances terminated by a sponge are arranged diagonally. Finally, the plaque bearing the initials INRI is surmounted by the rooster of the denial of Saint Peter which dominates the whole.
