In the cemeteries, in addition to the crosses on the individual graves, there is also a large-format central cross, under which special devotions are processed at All Saints' Day, candles are burned, giving them gifts in a figurative sense, etc. The Holy Cross in Kátlov cemetery is considered to be such a central cross, which is located on the right side of the sidewalk towards the playground, approximately in the middle between this sidewalk and the mourning house.

According to the detailed information given in the documentary documents at the Kátlov parish for the central Holy Cross, it is stated: “The first, stone statue of the crucified Christ, stood on the border of three districts - Kátlov, Chtelnice and tar. Juraj Martinovič had it made and financially ensured its maintenance. On September 14, 1774, the statue, together with the other two stone statues mentioned below, was solemnly consecrated by the parish priest from Horní Orešany and the vice-archdeacon Adam Markovič from Smolenice. ”
The transfer of this statue was also mentioned in information given only by word of mouth, which further stated that this Holy Cross had been moved to the cemetery from the execution site, which was to be "on the factory".
