Varga Cross

Hungary, 9155 Lebény Fő út 97.

The house that it stands in front of, the Kisbömbi Restaurant, was once the property of the Varga family and this is certainly where the crucifix got its name from. As to the year it was made, we have not data available to us. Archived documents attest that in the place where the crucifix stands today, there was already a wooden cross standing in 1780 at what was the lower border of the village. The cross today bears the year 1966 carved into it, marking the time the cross was replaced. The part close to the soil had deteriorated over the years causing the cross to topple over and necessitate the lower one-third of it being partially replaced in 2007. The figure of Jesus under the INRI signage was originally hollow tin painted gold in color.
