The Calvary at Landrévarzec (at the commune Landrévarzec) stands next to the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Quilinen. ==Background and description== The Quilinen Calvary was erected in 1547. On the shaft of the central cross are two small ledges on which there are statues depicting John the Evangelist and two female saints and at the base of the cross is a pietà or "Notre-Dame de Pitié" depicting the Virgin Mary with her dead son across her lap and accompanied by one of the female saints and John the Evangelist. At the back of the cross is a depiction of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus in her arms and a little higher up the shaft is a depiction of Mary Magdalene with her pot of ointment. At the summit of the cross on the reverse side of the depiction of the crucifixion there is a depiction of the resurrected Christ. The two smaller crosses bear the contorted bodies of the two robbers executed alongside Jesus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The calvary at Quilinen )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Calvary at Quilinen )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Calvary at Quilinen )〕 The calvary is triangular in shape and around the pedestal's platform are depictions of each of the apostles and their attributes.
