Pshata: Restored Cross and Banner

Residents of Pšata near Cerklje in Upper Gorizia are concerned about their ancient parish church of Saint Mary Magdalene, which was transferred under the commandery parish during the Protestant Reformation due to the local priest becoming Protestant. The French-Jesuit reforms later returned it to the original Cerklje parish. This year, they celebrated their patron saint with the restoration of the cross at the beginning of the village and the banner, along with the entrance doors of the church and the chapel. The cross was restored by the Kavčič Restoration Society, with assistance from other local craftsmen. The banner, last renovated in 1982, was updated with new images of Saint Mary Magdalene and the apostles Jacob and Philip. The initiative came from the locals, with half the funding provided by an anonymous benefactor and the other half collected through church collections. The parish priest, Martin Leban, blessed both the cross and the banner during religious ceremonies.

Residents of Pšata near Cerklje on Gorenjska have taken part in the restoration of a historic church monument dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene. The community has long been concerned about the state of their ancient parish church, which was transferred under the commandery parish during the Protestant Reformation, as well as by Catholics who protested against the appointment of a Protestant priest as the local vicar. Later, the French-Jesuit reforms returned the church to its original jurisdiction within the Cerklje parish. This year, the residents celebrated their patron saint with the restoration of the cross at the beginning of the village and the banner, along with the entrance doors of the church and the chapel. The cross was restored by the Kavčič Restoration Society, with assistance from several other local artisans and craftsmen including the builder Čebulj, blacksmith Milan Šinkovec, stonemason Jelar, locksmiths, and some Catholics. The newly restored cross stands at the entrance of Pšata near Cerklje on Gorenjska. A photo shows the restored cross in the village. The banner, last renovated in 1982, was modified for use in processions in neighboring Cerklje. The villagers replaced the old fabric and added images of Saint Mary Magdalene on the front side, while the back features depictions of the apostles St. James and Philip, both recently restored. The initiative to restore the banner came from the local Catholic community. Half of the funding was donated anonymously by a generous benefactor, while the other half was collected through donations during annual charity collections held in the village. Father Martin Leban of the Cerklje parish blessed the newly restored banner inside the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene in Pšata. Another photo captures this moment. The cross was blessed by Father Martin Leban during the feast day of Saint Mary Magdalene on July 22nd. The banner, however, was blessed during the Mass on Sunday, July 26th, at the Pšata church.
