Memorial cross in memory of Gellért Reicher (Papa)

Statue, monument, memorial plaque

In the tragic accident on April 16, 2019, Gellért Reicher, a member and collaborator of Csemadok since 1964, an actor, the organizing secretary of Szőttes, and the organizer of numerous festivals, as they were called: the Papa, lost his life in the early hours of April 16. ; He started dancing in the dance group of the Bratislava Bishop's basic organization, but was also a member of the acting group. In 1971, he became a collaborator of Csemadok as the organizing secretary of the Szőttes Folk Art Ensemble. He said this about the work he often did without financial compensation: ; "This work is my creed for me. Without dedication, such work, and especially in a minority, cannot be done. Fortunately, for me, the preservation and passing on of Hungarian culture, folk dance, and our folk art traditions is the meaning of my life." In 2016, he was awarded the Hungarian Gold Cross of Merit. In 2018, he received the István Gyurcsó Award. ; He died at the age of 70. ; ; On June 4, 2020, a memorial cross was erected in honor of his friends (Fizse Dudek Ferenc, Öcsi Csóka Imre - Dunaszerdahely, István Bankó, Ibolya Bankó - Szepsi) near Szalóc, at the scene of his death. ; The memorial cross was made by woodcarver Géza Csicsói Nagy.
