plague cross : ウィキペディア英語版
plague cross

The term plague cross can refer to either a mark placed on a building occupied by victims of plague; or a permanent structure erected, either to enable plague sufferers to trade while minimising the risk of contagion, or to commemorate past victims of the disease. A wide variety of forms of plague cross existed in Britain and elsewhere in Europe, until plague largely disappeared by the eighteenth century.
==Plague notices==
At times of plague, it was common to mark the doors of victims of the disease with a large painted cross, either in red or black paint. In later times, large printed crosses were often affixed to doors. Daniel Defoe reported, at the time of the Great Plague in 1665, that the Lord Mayor of London, in his regulations, stated:〔(Daniel Defoe, ''Journal of the Plague Year'' )〕
"That every house visited (the disease ) be marked with a red cross of a foot long in the middle of the door, evident to be seen, and with these usual printed words, that is to say, "Lord, have mercy upon us," to be set close over the same cross, there to continue until lawful opening of the same house."
About the same time, Samuel Pepys wrote on 7 June 1665:〔( Samuel Pepys, ''Diary'', June 7, 1665 )〕
"I did in Drury-lane see two or three houses marked with a red cross upon the doors, and "Lord have mercy upon us" writ there - which was a sad sight to me, being the first of that kind that to my remembrance I ever saw."
