The author focusses on the issue of church dedications and their changes with respect to chosen sacral buildings of protestant congregations in the historical Hontian Archdeaconry (especially in the towns of Banská Štiavnica and Krupina and the villages of Cerovo and Dačov Lom) in the context of the research on 34 other locations of evangelical (Lutheran and Calvinist) churches and prayer rooms. In doing so, it has been found out that some originally catholic dedications together with the original furnishings have been preserved, although the churches in question have been in the possession of the Lutherans in some cases for more than a century, while the patrocinations of some sacral buildings have changed. It is the gradual development that is of importance here – the withdrawal from using patrocinations and from reverence for saints in Lutheran religious congregations (partly with changed furnishings), which occurred at a faster pace in the Calvinist congregations where the reverence for saints disappeared altogether. Prescribed religious holidays (festa decretalia) were celebrated more frequently in the Lutheran environment than in the Calvinist one. Changes in the perception of the patrocinations are also evidenced in sources of secular provenience in towns, where the original catholic dedications were replaced by new names. The presented study documents the gradual and differentiated demise of the reverence for saints, which was partly accompanied by changes in the furnishings of the congregations, changes of the patrocination in several places and by the demise of the original patrocination without introducing a new one in one case.

The author discusses the existence and dating of the Krupina town’s seals and the motivations for accepting the seal symbol (later the coat of arms as well) of the Lamb of God of Krupina, whereas based on the analogies of towns in Hungary or abroad he contemplates the influence of the paradigm of medieval society and its focus on eternal life that leads to the Kingdom of heaven to the Savior, Jesus Christ. The author points to the possible connection of the symbol with the church dedication of the main parish church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He also deals with the view of older literature, which derived its acceptance into the seals of the town from the coins of Hungarian rulers who were associated with the origins of the town of Krupina. Jesus Christ (symbolically depicted as the Lamb of God) is an attribute of the Virgin Mary in Christian iconography and was constantly depicted together with the mother, Virgin Mary, similarly to the fashion it was implemented in Krupina. At the same time, the Lamb was a symbol of the heavenly Jerusalem, a perfect city, which was a model and ideal of the earthly city, and thus of the community of the Krupina townspeople. The authority of the Savior is thus symbolically linked to the authority of the king and also to the authority of the burghers, as well as to the legal force of the documents they issued. This could have been one of the motivations of the Krupina townspeople to adopt this symbol into the seals of the town. At the same time, it is possible to assume an increase in the influence of rectors of the main parish church in the town, who probably performed the duties of the first notaries of the town of Krupina.
