At St. Maurus |
 |
The postcard depicts the church of St.
Maurus and the hill Munihov Kuk, which was at the beginning
of the 20th century overgrown with the vine trellises; original:
M. Munih |
|
The church is, by being firstly mentioned in 1192,
the oldest church in the settlement and its surroundings. Also the
first known reference to the area of Most na Soči is linked to this
small church: In ponte Sancti Mauri, St. Mauro, Sankt Maurus Bruck.
It is dedicated to St. Maurus that was the disciple of St. Benedict
and thus consequently his successor. The legend says that he should
hold immense healing powers thus the ill will always seek his help.
He is the patron of charcoalers and coppersmiths. |
