mariánsky stĺp Statue

You can see in Gbely where one of the quiet but very symbolic monuments of our region is known in front of you. You are standing in front of a Marian column that, as a colonized guard, watches the surrounding fields and forests. This column, which has been here ever since it was remembered, is one of those places that has been squeezed into the memory of local people as a symbol of the whirlwind, respect and social life of past centuries.

Let's move closer and look at him with attention. Before you is a simple but very purposeful building - a pillar with a Marian statue on top. The statue of Our Lady, which has been here since then, is a typical example of Baroque art, which has spread in our regions in the 17th and 18th centuries. Note how the image is placed to be seen from the far - from - the - eye view of such an approach was typical of the Marian columns, which served as reference points for both believers and as protective symbols against adverse forces.

There is no written testimony about when and why this pillar was built. However, the Marian columns began to spread in our regions during the anti-reformation period when the Catholic Church sought to strengthen its influence and unite believers. These structures served as places of prayer but also as symbols of determination and whirlwinds. In Gbely, such a column became part of local life, with its meaning being sold orally from generation to generation, as one of the few written, undocumented but very lively traditions.

Nyni pay attention to the material itself and to the details before you. The pillar is built of local stone, which is typical of many Marian columns in our regions. Note how the statue of Our Lady is placed on the top - often it is a typical Baroque composition, where Our Lady is depicted with Jesus in her arms, or as a full-handed lady symbolizing protection and grace. In this case, although specific details are not known, it is clear that this is a typical example of such buildings, which were built with the intention of strengthening the spiritual life of the community.

Some historians assume that many of these columns were built without written documentation, but their meaning was very strong and deeply rooted in local social life.
