From 1935 the woodcarver Stan Ioan Pătraș carved and painted crosses for the cemetery of Săpânța, each with a picture of the dead person's life and a short poem, often funny, written as if they were speaking. After his death his apprentice continued. Today there are hundreds of blue crosses, and people come from far away to read them.
