Memories for legendary passion games at Calvary
On april 9th 2015 it was already 20 years since legendary passion games took place at the Calvary. We would like to publish few pictures from this fantastic event. We hope that we could repeat it one day again. The author of pictures is Lubomir Luzina.
The Calvary will have new parking lots and visitor center
Since 2009 the number of visitors increased from 12 to 40 thousand a year! Because of this, parking at the entrance points became a serious problem. Calvary Fund has therefore decided to respond to the offer to purchase older building and the surrounding land near the first chapel. The purchase was possible thanks to loan […]
Restoration of the statue of Mary Magdalene in the chapel of The Sorrowful Heart of Virgin Mary
The statue was previously stolen, or destroyed. In 2011 and 2012, a survey was prepared and photo documentation collected; based on this substrate it was possible to create a detailed copy of the statue. The replica was constructed by Mgr. art. John Fečo in 2012-13. Today the statue is exhibited in its original location.
Statue of Christ lying in the tomb in the chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Like the statue of Mary Magdalene, this statue was in the past either stolen or destroyed. Between 2010 and 2012 we undertook an extensive examination of photographic archive documents thanks to which we created a copy of the original work. The replica was created by Mrg. Art. John Fečo. Work was completed in early […]
Renovation of chapels 23 and 24
In 2012 the cement plaster layer was removed from the chapels. The portions of the walls which were most severly threatened have been reinforced by means of complex reconstruction, such as masonry moisture remediation. In 2013, we implemented a comprehensive restoration of the fine sculpted stone, exterior plaster, stairs and roofs. The photos below were […]
Electrification and illumination
Thanks to the electrification of the whole area in 2011 – 2013 we installed the second part of the Calvary’s night illumination. In addition to the previously illuminated Upper church, we installed lighting for 4 chapels and Ecce Homo. The lights were turned on during the May 2013 event „Re-opening the Calvary.“
Landscaping of the area
In 2013, we continued with terrain modification around the Lower church. In the near future we plan the planting of new linden trees, and therefore it was necessary to remove some old stumps of uprooted trees or cut trees. Grass cutting and drenage system cleaning is each year must. A large part of these […]
The church bell in the Lower church
Of all the Calvary bells only the 300 kg example in the south tower of the Lower Church has been preserved. It is marked with the year 1921. It was evidently the only bell which was restored after seizure for military purposes during the First World War. In 2014, we repaired the mechanical parts, […]
Final retouch of the three chapels in the Lower church
The large-scale restoration of frescoes ran from 2008-2012. In 2013 it was, in connection with the completion of works and in particular the exhibition and fitting of 3 altars, necessary to make the final restoration retouching. This was carried out by Mgr. Art. Eva Mitzová.
The lookout tower of the Upper church
In the western tower, eventually intended for public access, it was necessary to build a new stone entrance portal and doors. All stone window jambs of windows were also repaired, and replica wooden Windows were added. In the interiors the plaster and the floor down stairs were restored. On the first floor of the […]
