The tomb of Gellért Váry

Gellért Váry (Meister Gellért, Csongrád, February 2, 1843 – Nyitra, February 16, 1929) was a Piarist monk, novice master, and general assistant of his order in Rome. ; After completing six grades of high school, he entered the order on September 22, 1858. After completing his studies and the teacher's examination, he worked as a teacher from 1862. In this year, he changed his family name from Meister to Váry. He taught until 1863 in Szeged, Vác, Pest in 1864-66, in Kecskemét from 1866 to 1873, in Vác from 1873 to 1892, in the latter place he was the master of novices, and in the 1891-92 school year he was transferred to Nyitra as the order's governor. ; After the Hungarian Order of the Pious Teachers was reunited with the rest of the order in 1904 (from which it had separated in 1781 by order of Joseph II), he was sent to Rome to become a member of the universal governing council of the order, as a government advisor (assistant general) dealing with Hungarian and Central European affairs. Due to the great differences between the monastic discipline and lifestyle of the Hungarian and Italian Piarists, he held this office, which required extraordinary diplomatic flair, until 1912. As a retired teacher, he moved to the monastery in Nitra and lived there for the rest of his life, even after the city was annexed to Czechoslovakia in 1918. ; He died at the age of 76. He was buried in the old city cemetery in Nitra, in the common tomb of the Piarists, among his fellow monks. ; ; His articles were published in the Educational Bulletins (I. 1867.
