This kind of religious structures for worship, of all religions, are common in all countries.
In the Christian countries, you can see crosses, religious sculptures of Christ, Virgin Mary and Saints, small shrines with icons, miniatures of chapels and many other bigger or smaller constructions mainly along the roads.
This photo is one of my large collection of more than six thousand images of these structures (called in Greece iconostases) from all over the world.
I have already published a photographic album with photos of iconostases from Greece. You can see it in the following link:
picasaweb.google.gr/KARTRAS/ICONOSTASESANDTHEGREEKLANDSCA...
I would be obliged if any friend from the site could write to me the word used in his country and his language for these constructions.
It will be very valuable for me to collect and record the common names of them in as many languages as possible, which I will include in a research I am making.
Many thanks, Karolos Trivizas
