Multicultural and multi-confessional\u00a0Novi Sad is rich in cultural monuments\u00a0and the religious landmarks that adorn it, and at the same time are witnesses of history. One of these is the oldest preserved public monument in the city, which many do not know about \u2013 the Epiphany Cross<\/strong>, i.e. the one in the gate of the Cathedral Church of the Holy Great-Martyr George <\/strong>in\u00a0Pa\u0161i\u0107eva Street.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The monument, by the unknown author, is a kind of testament to the devotion of the Orthodox people to the church and religion. It is made of pink marble and is about five metres high. It is an example of classicist sculpture of the Austrian variant of Louis XVI in this area, from the second half of the 18th<\/sup> century. It is difficult to find the first data about the monument, because the records indicating the exact year of creation were devastated in the terrible bombing of Novi Sad during the Uprising in 1849, when the archives of the Eparchy of Ba\u010dka burned down, and the archives of Novi Sad itself was partially damaged. What we know for sure is that the cross was originally located at the very corner of today’s Zmaj Jovina and Mileti\u0107eva streets, near the former well of Sava Vukovi\u0107<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Serbian benefactor Marija Trandafil<\/strong> reconstructed it in 1867. The monument stood undisturbed at the corner of the mentioned streets until 1909, until Novi Sad got tram traffic. As the tram line was supposed to pass through Zmaj Jovina and Pa\u0161i\u0107eva streets all the way to Temerinska Street, due to the work on laying the rails in 1910, the cross was first moved in front of the Bishop’s Palace<\/em><\/a>. It stayed at the location for four decades. However, in 1957, it was moved to the port of the Cathedral Church and this was a compromise solution with the communist authorities of the time who demanded that Orthodox symbols be removed from the streets of the city. A monument to Jovan J. Zmaj was later erected on the site of the Epiphany Cross near the Bishop’s Palace.<\/p>\n
