The statue of Saint Urban in Zsobrák
Statue, monument, memorial plaque
The bronze statue depicts the saint differently from the usual depictions of Orbán. We see his robust figure on a high pedestal, with a bunch of grapes in his hand, but a halo above his head, and a huge sword behind his back. Perhaps this refers to the saint's presumed martyrdom? It is well known that Saint Orbán is usually depicted in our region with a bishop's hat and a shepherd's crook or a papal tiara and a cross. His attributes are the bunch of grapes and the chalice, the tray in his hand, etc. ; The statue of the patron saint of vineyards, the work of Sándor Krisztiáni, was erected by the Ipolynyék municipality, the Nekvinum civic association and private individuals (Gábor Cseri, Zoltán Farkas, Richard Hamerlik, Dénes Korcsog, István Tóth, László Zsigmond) on September 11, 2004. ; The colored limestone statue stands on a pedestal made of stone. Saint Urban is the most significant protector of the vine, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand, guarding the slope and the harvest.
