Detva
Crosses

“On my journeys across Slovakia, I experience many moments. One of them was an unplanned stop in Detva, which we made in the summer with the children on our way to eastern Slovakia. I had no idea that there was an exhibition of magnificent wooden Detva crosses.”

“I often read about disputes between supporters of our original culture, of which unfortunately only fragments remain, and the passionate defenders of the ‘new’ religion in our land. This dispute was the main reason why I never wanted to work with the theme of the Detva crosses. But recently something happened that none of us expected. A fratricidal war began.”
