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.
