    As the central figure of Christianity, Jesus is a vivid expression of faith.  Jesus is often depicted hanging on the cross or with the Crown of Thorns.
    In the case of the Henequen cross, this religious symbol is used to express the lifestyles of those who are commemorated in this area of the cemetery. These crosses mark the deaths of the Henequen workers.
