Reformation Tree in Sobotište

Reformation Tree in Sobotište

On the third Sunday of the Advent time a Reformation tree was planted on the occasion of the 229th anniversary of the consecration of the church in Sobotište. Within the ceremonial worship service a restored case from year 1783, which was made by the first curator after the Edict of Tolerance - Ján Leštjan, was given to the congregation. It was a gift by Rybova and Batkova family. It will be placed behind the altar as a part of the exposition about history of the congregation in Sobotište.
In conclusion of the ceremonial worship participants planted a Reformation tree (Fagus purpurea ) and sang the Lutheran hymn - A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.
