kostol sv.Michala Church

Welcome to the picturesque village of Malý Slavkov in Prešovskom county. You are standing right in front of the historical pamiata, which is the rare skeleton of St. Michael. Make yourself comfortable, take a breath and think about the story of this extravagant miesta, which welcomes you with its peaceful and timeless atmosphere. When you see yourself in front of you, you will see a sacrilege building, which already after the old-school period has reached the character of this region and remembers the generals of the predkov, who have been walking on these great roads as you have today.

Let's move deeper into the history of this miesta. The creation and historical context of this temple is covered in mysteries, because the precise chronology of its statues is unknown. We don't know exactly where the major laid the first stone, and who exactly was worth the idea. A similar architect, who breathed life into this place with his form, has been lost to time. Similarly, history did not preserve specifically the name of the historical personality, which would be directly related to the foundation or key moments of this kostol. However, the fascinating thing about this is that the construction itself survived all historical changes, earthquakes and lasted until today, when we can stand here and admire it three times.

Now pay attention to the architecture itself. Observe the impressive exterior, the lines of walls and the total arrangement of construction before you. The boys do not have specific written records of construction details, you yourself are witnesses to the authentic form of this svätostát. Feel the level of detail that tells you about the old Chias. Try to look at how the svätyňa fits into the surrounding environment of Malého Slavkova, and read the honest work of unknown builders, whose hands created a work surviving centuries.

Although chronicles do not provide information on specific nobles or saints related to this miestom, the most likely origin of the kostol svätého Michal is its own history. The protection that the temple offers through St. Michael, traditionally symbolizes the fight between good and evil and protection against danger. We can just imagine how many prayers, hopes for prosperity, health and peace were sent to these múm in difficult times of history. This kostol was a witness to joys as well as sorrows of the whole generation, it was a place where people met, shared their grief and joy in common faith and need.

The mystery of this miesta lies precisely in its stillness and in the unanswered questions. The fact that the chronological origin and the shape of the construction is still unknown to this day gives the kostol of St. Michael's personal aura a mysterious quality. It's the idea that not all details need a man's glory to survive. It is true that the stand for each of us, prepared to take care of our rooms, is the true value of all of us.
