Kun kereszt (kőkereszt) - Magyarcsanád

A little history.

I know there are two theories as to its origin. According to one, a XVI. belonged to a 16th-century cemetery, graves were also found during an excavation in the 1970s. The other theory is related to the Dózsa peasant uprising, according to which the peasant leader dragged Bishop Miklós Csáki here, the place of which is indicated by the cross.

There is a clean, tidy, shady environment, asphalt road, always open to the public.

The cross is right next to the road, you can stop next to it, a few steps on the stubble. Wildlife: rabbits, birds of prey, a goose farm in the distance. It can be seen on the cross that it is very old and made of quite interesting rock, the layers are also striking, but in addition the whole surface is full of glittering minerals.

Its origin is unknown, it may be more than 500 years old. The stone comes from the Carpathians. It reaches another 2 m deep underground.

Kun cross They have been guessing for centuries, giving occasion to folk tales, the best known of which is that the tomb of László Kun lies under the cross. László Kun was buried in Őscsanád, so it is hardly more than a legend. Already in the writings of the last century they write about the unusual stone monument. According to observations, the original height of the stone cross is almost 290 cm, of which 120 cm is in the ground. According to local residents, the then owner of the land removed the stone monument from the ground because he disturbed the plowing and then put it back on order. It is important to note that the cross was marked as a reference point on the military maps. According to another suggestion, the stone object is nothing more than a memorial cross, which may be related to the peasant uprising of Dózsa. Once upon a time, the peasant leader's camp stood here. This place could be marked as a keepsake. Belez in the XVI. In the 16th century it was the property of the bishop of Csanád and half of the chapter of Csanád. And the lands of the Luczay family were just around the cross. Unfortunately, the undeservedly stands in the area under agricultural cultivation (plowed around).
