Csatkai szentkút - Csatka

I gave it to the battle, its surroundings, the orderliness and management of the small village - the successful tenders - the developments. The wonderful environment of the shrine and the spirit of the place are also perfect. Sadly I see slowly ruining, falling walls..does not respect the memory of the long past.It is a disappointment to visitors..for years.For the village too.

The small church / chapel is in a beautiful setting. Brother Francis, who takes care of things, spoke colorfully to our small team about the history of the holy place. Fortunately, we even took part in a Mass on Pentecost Monday. If you go there, take an empty bottle to throw water out of the holy well. To help yourself or others. ;-)

Although the records only preserve the memory of the group pilgrimages from the end of the last century, we still know of the miraculous healing of a blind man named Vilmos Meizler, from 1792. According to the farewells, the water of the Holy Well in Csatka is mainly good for curing foot pain and against paralysis. Pilgrims used to bring home spring water in jars and bottles to those who stayed at home.

Csatka, located on the eastern edge of the Bakony, belongs to Komárom-Esztergom County and the Diocese of Veszprém. There used to be a Pauline monastery in the village, first mentioned in 1357 in written sources. It was founded by palatine Miklós Kont. The thriving monastery was destroyed in the years following the Mohács disaster. It is possible that the chapel was built near Szentkút in the Middle Ages, the ruins of which were still visible in the last century. Today's chapel, named after the Mother of Mercy, was built near Szentkút in 1862, courtesy of Baron Ferenc Fiath, with the help of the third-degree brother József Csöbönyei, who also lived here in a hermit hut. Although the records only preserve the memory of the group pilgrimages from the end of the last century, we still know of the miraculous healing of a blind man named Vilmos Meizler, from 1792.

Pilgrims used to bring home spring water in jars and bottles to those who stayed at home. At the shrine, which has been very visited in recent decades, the farewells are consecrated at night in the temple. Masses were and are in Hungarian and German, and even Csatka later became a place of pilgrimage of national significance for the Hungarian Gypsies (sermons in the Gypsy language can also be listened to). Especially many people have come from Hungarian villages in southern Slovakia in the last decade. An architecturally significant monument to Csatka is the village parish church, some parts of which date back to the 14th century. It has survived from the 16th century Pauline church. The Renaissance tombstone of Ákos Miklós Szentléleky was walled in the wall of the sanctuary in 1516. The carved stones of the medieval church and the monastery were built into many village houses. There is a nature reserve around the Szentkút Chapel. In the description of the Balaton region, Csatkárói and Károly Eötvös mention the hermit of Csatkai. He reports on the honor of Szentkút. Mihály Táncsics was born in nearby Ácsteszér. You can't get to Csatkár by train. The nearest railway station, Bakonysárkány, is 15 km from the village on the Komárom-Székesfehérvár railway line. It can be reached by road on the main road No. 81 between Győr and Székesfehérvár. (Source: Gábor Barna: Pilgrimage and Shrines in Hungary Panorama, Budapest, 1990. pp. 47-48.)

A holy place where the Virgin Mary hears our supplication! It is easily accessible by car and on foot. Infrastructure is nothing, so the area is telixarted, a lot of abandoned homeless paper handkerchiefs, beer cans. Let us strive to manifest metaphysical purity in the physical world as well.

If you reach Szentkút in Csatka, you will be enchanted by the surroundings. Between the lush trees, in the shade of hills, is a chapel and spring. I don't know how many people were enchanted by this area. According to the prayer found on the wall of the chapel, I am not the first. Here are a few lines from the buzzer: "From the chirping of birds on the loud hills of Csatka, Where does the songbird trill more beautifully on the foliage, Where the smell of grass, wood and flowers is more intoxicating. Where the star of the sky is brighter, Where the sun's rays play in more beautiful colors, where the wanderer walks quietly on the lawn. ” Rhymes may pop up sometimes, but what it’s about is true. As we reached the pilgrimage site, we immediately saw a fresh, crisp chapel. It turned out that this is not the original echte, but another building built by the National Roma Self-Government, which was built in II. It was named after Pope John Paul. The main treasure of the chapel is a wooden statue, which was built by II. Pope John Paul also blessed him. The interior of the chapel is not standard. There is no altar, lots and lots of photos around the wall. Bishop János Székely stated: “The little gypsy chapel is not the luckiest, so it is more museum-like with a lot of photos, it is also beautiful, but maybe it shouldn't be there, and something should be put in that creates a religious atmosphere, even candles. and a small altar. ” After seeing the new chapel, I gasped to Calvary — a steep road, for sure. One of the stations would fit another beauty salon. There is one of them that broke in two. I had a wonderful view of Calvary. The greenish cauldron of the gentle Bakony hills was broken by the golden-yellow fields. They provided a magical, condemning sight. The real chapel of the echte is protected from hills on three sides, the water of the Holy Well flows “at your feet”, with benches, thuja, hermitages and a chapel in Lourdes. The interior of the chapel hides a relic, a statue of Mary from Fatima and a portable altar of Mary. The altar is guarded on two sides by Hungarian saints, Prince Elizabeth and Prince Imre. Behind the sanctuary — pure Andocs — is Mary's cloak. The wardrobe is full, that's right! At the entrance to the chapel, I “stumbled” into an enthusiastically hurried mountain waiter. It crowned the experience. It was rare to have lunch as well as in the cool of the Holy Well, at the foot of the chapel.

My five is all about the uniqueness and uniqueness of the place. Most of the shrines have a tortuous history, hermits have lived here since the beginning of time, a spring eagerly out of the earth, then once landed with Archangel Gabriel and announced that Mary, the Virgin, was coming the next day. And he cometh, And hath shewed me that I should pray thee, let there be a chapel and glory. And it became. There were miraculous healings after that. Scientists say not to drink from the water because it is infected, but what are some of the little bacteria compared to the miraculous cures! For here, please, the blind rubbed their eyes with the water and saw, a deaf child washed his ears and began to hear, barren women poured water on their bellies and began to give birth. (I don't write this myself, I heard it there! The man who told it and the caretaker there is already 80! That is, he has known about eighty such miracles since he was there. I wouldn't rate it.) it has cozy, beautiful walkable places, behind the church you can also find a cave in Lourdes for another Mary, but the real delicacy is that it is a well-known gypsy shrine. At first only a few Roma came here, then many, a thousand and ten thousand, now that the big international world meeting of the Roma is here. And it is especially interesting that the way Krishna and his wife are constantly dressed in the Krishna shrines, so is Mary in Csatka! The Romani women wore a ruthless amount of clothes for Mary, the sacristy is all over them, and the crowns, jewelry, and the virgin is constantly dressed like a baby. I hope I aroused your interest, go to Csatka, heal or just relax, take a look, I recommend it too!

It’s a hiking trail, so we “stumbled” into it. It is in a very unique location, in a beautiful environment, this building complex is in good condition. For me, the depiction of the crown here is superfluous and confusing, but the place has a pleasant atmosphere. There is also a water intake facility.
