Spanish to English Other Architecture church architecture
La Cruz de Mendiaraz

El escultor la realizó en piedra probablemente durante el siglo XVII, con profusión de detalles, al estilo barroco; capitel adornado con flores de acanto, remates de granadas en los bordes de la cruz, ángeles velando a Cristo…

Los padres llevaban a sus niños a fin de que aprendieran a andar. Cogidos de la mano se les hacia dar alrededor de la cruz tres vueltas en alturas distintas, desde la base, hasta la escalinata superior, a la vez que rezaban tres credos en cada vuelta.
Finalizaba el rito tras un beso a la columna.

pomegranate cappings

I also thought at first that it might be edging or borders from the description, which is misleading. Take a look at the images in the link.

This is how I understand it.
