Cemetery- Pavlice

The House of Mourning in the Pavlický Cemetery dates from a relatively young artistic period, from socialist modernism. It is a brilliant design of a modern building, which nevertheless gives the impression of a church with a tower crowned with a cross. The House of Mourning is used mainly for funerals.

Probably the oldest architectural addition to the cemetery is a classicist cross. It was settled in its place at the end of the 18th century, in 1783. As with other sacral monuments of the village from the 17th to the 19th century, we can notice strict symmetry. The pedestal visually rests on engravings in the Baroque style. Next, a relief of a laurel bush flows across the board with the relief and the year. Along with the base of the column, a late Baroque step bearing the statue of the Virgin Mary rises before our eyes. The pillar on which the cross itself rests is also inspired by antiquity, and its head strikingly resembles the head of a Doric-type pillar. The statue of the cross with the crucified Christ itself is almost the same in all periods. Above the figure of Jesus Christ is an imitation of a nailed plate with the inscription INRI, which is an abbreviation for the Latin name Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, ie Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
