Sažetak
In his inaugural sermon the Parish priest Ci¬priš wove a lot of historic images about Križe¬vci and its numerous monuments kept in Cro¬atian collective memory. He then announced the 350th anniversary of the martyrdom of the blessed Marko Križevčanin which was to be held in the following year, 1969. The Reverend obtained permission from the Sacred Congregation of Rites in Rome to proclaim St Marko copatron of the upper town chapel along with St Ladislas. The full official name of the location is the Chapel of St Ladislas and St Marko Križevčanin, which is not widely known. The Reverend Cipriš was fond of cultural heritage and had a sense of the sacred and beautiful. He recognized the value of a wonderful baroque interior ( the altair and the pulpit), all work of domestic masters and for this reason he decided to honour the chapel with the name of the famous martyr. The celebration was made special by the presence of the Pope’s closest associate, Cardinal Šeper, who was at the time the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. By inviting the Cardinal, the Reverend Cipriš wanted to pay high honour to our blessed fellow-townsman. A celebration compared to this one held in 1969 has not been seen since, not even for two decades of Croatia’s independence.
