Mária szobor, Immaculata - Immaculata

Beautiful

Mary Square, illuminated symbol of night.

The statue is taken in a small park, clean and tidy. There are benches here. And bus 39 stopped.

The statue was made by Antal Hörger with side figures at that time: in addition to the figure of the Immaculate Virgin and the little Jesus, St. Catherine of Siena and St. John of Nepomuk were visible. The statue was moved to another part of the square in 1748 and demolished in 1826. The side figures were placed in the garden of the Capuchin convent on the Main Street of Buda, where they disappeared a hundred years later, while the statue of Mary was placed on Irma Square together with the column in 1834.

Mary's Column .The painted limestone sculpture is 8.1 m high. In 1748 it was moved to another part of the square. In 1826, the statue ensemble was demolished and the bystanders entered the garden of the Buda Capuchin Monastery on Main Street, and their fate is unknown since 1926. In 1834, the statue was erected on Irma Square (now known as Mary's), It was carved again by Lajos Visnyovszky in 1938 and Péter Szomolányi in 1984.

The sculptures sometimes have extraordinary stories, but I didn’t even think about the story of this columned Mary, I only looked at it later, but its appearance from two sides. I must have been funny, I watched from behind, walked forward, then sideways, and back again. No doubt, the Sun is at the bottom. A mustache? not a mustache? a man's head is stuck to his bottom, and from there come the great rays of the sun, that is, he is the Sun. Sure, there could be some barbaric or Egyptian aspect to this, but no, I think one version is that there is a woman dressed in the sun who stands on the moon that has a biblical origin. The apostle John had such a vision. The immaculata statues are usually grateful for the plague and epidemics, the pedestal of this statue is that it was made by Antal Hörger in 1724, it was erected by the citizens, and it first stood in Batthyány Square, which was then Bomba Square. It was moved to the then Irma Square in 1834, which later became the Maria Square due to the statue. In 1748, he changed places inside Bomba Square, it was demolished, stolen, damaged in war, after an adventure adventure, but now it stands, here is the rethought statue of Máira, now without side figures. Of course, not only is the bizarre fact that the spotless man has a male head radiating on his butt, but let's face it, the confusion is that it is quite common for such statues to have large, crowned crowns on the heads of the main figures; he has a stick, even though the cross, as a symbol, only enters his life, more precisely, his death, and his new life in 30 years, well, so I was confused, but then the public sculptures are good, if there is something connected to them, there is a core to it surely you only have to go after it. Good walk everyone!
