The village of Mojzesovo

For more than two decades, a faithful copy of the famous statue of Jesus Christ, towering over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has been standing in the Danube village of Mojzesovo. It was created in a scale of 1:10 and stands near the baroque Roman Catholic Church of St. Andrew from 1730.

In the middle of the village stands a statue of the first chairman of Matica slovenská, Bishop Štefan Moyzes, after whom the village was named. But it was originally called Mojzes' Izdeg. It may sound Hungarian, but the origin of the word is Slavic. Izdeg was also established in the marshy areas, similarly to the East Slovak village of Izdoba and the Moravian Izda near Lanžhot. Such a word has no support in Hungarian. At least that's what historians say. Although it does not seem so at first glance, Mojzesovo is a very old village. Already in the 8th century, there was a Slavic settlement in the Danubian Lowland on the left bank of the Nitra River, and Mojzesovo already existed as a settlement in the 12th century. However, Izdeg was first mentioned in documents in 1273. For many centuries, its history is linked to the history of Šurian Castle, although the village as a property often changed lord. With the establishment of the first Czechoslovak Republic, it came under the administration of the county and today it belongs to the district of Nové Zámky. Like many villages in the Danube region, Mojzesovo has good winemakers and winegrowers who can take advantage of sunny days and produce quality juice from the local harvest. Every year at the celebrations of St. Urbana is consecrated to the young wine by a local priest. It is also fun during children's fishing competitions and the municipal slaughterhouse. The village is decorated with a carriage and the inhabitants accompanied by folk music. Every year in Mojzesov, general festivities are held at the beginning of July, where artists from the area and celebrities perform.

A pilgrimage takes place in Mojzesov in August and a gardening and breeding exhibition in October. In addition to all these events, they will be able to build "May" in the village in the spring, prepare the Children's Day and the Baobab Children's Camp in the summer and Christmas markets in the winter. So if anyone, although by chance, visits the village, they have a real chance to hit one of these events. And an even better chance that the local children's folklore ensemble Bablnka will perform on one of them. The children chose the name themselves and with songs, dances and folk customs they represent the village and the local Primary School Mojzesovo - Černík, to which the protective wings belong. The school itself has a beautiful large and green area on the banks of the Nitra River. The Vlnka Kindergarten also operates in the same premises. It was named because of its location by the river. It has two classes - Rybky and Žabky - and operates on the basis of a school educational program with also an "water" motivated name Vodník Vševedko. The premises of the school and kindergarten are modern and are used by children from three villages - Mojzesova, Černík and Vinodol. But let's go back to the vineyards. Broken dirt roads full of potholes often lead to them in villages, which are sometimes difficult to cross. In Mojzesov, they made such a path between the vineyards that not only the locals use it as a cycle path.
