Cemetery cross (stone cross)

Sacral small monument

The sandstone object stands a little close to the eastern edge of the present-day Catholic cemetery, with the corpus facing south. The stem and corpus of the cross are in very poor condition. One part of the latter's right hand still has a wire on the stem, the other part of it has broken off from the shoulder. If the hand and finger depiction are original, then it is certainly a carving of Christ blessing (it cannot be compared with the left hand, as it is now broken off). ; The inscription on the INRI tablet is now illegible. At the time of the data collection, there were artificial flower wreaths and artificial flowers on a forged, welded holder at the base of the cross. József Liszka documented a welded candlestick in front of the pedestal in 2001, but by now it is almost completely overgrown with flowers (chrysanthemums, etc.). These are watered. The area around is visibly well-kept, raked. According to the informant, in the period after the reunification of 1938, the mason László Fekete repaired the pedestal of the former grave cross (?), and regarding the corpus, “he gave it a hand, because one of his hands was broken” (István Kollárovics, born 1915). ; István Nagyfalussy mentions the church, or more precisely, the cemetery around the chapel. “Since the time of Joseph II, the Ordódys have been buried in three different crypts, and at the bottom of one of the crypts there is a baroque masterpiece crucifix” (Nagyfalussy 1941, 2). It is certainly possible that this is the object above, since we can still see the grave marks of Ordódys there today (according to the inscriptions on the two grave monuments, they were last buried in the 19th century). By the way, people in the area have been mostly buried since the 1940s, of course not with the name Ordódy. ; Presumably in the first half of the 1990s, the Litany of All Saints was still performed at the high cross, going back several decades before that (Irén Turcsek, Habara Vilmosné, born 1932). Similarly to the Ógyallaians, the Song of the Heroes was sung (Margit Krkan, born 1929, Ürge Ferencné).
