1. A public statue preserves the memory of Saint Stephen in Gyergyószentmiklós.

On the initiative of the late archdeacon István Hajdó, and at the request of the then mayor József Pap, Polgár Botond began carving the statue ten years ago. The work, carved from a 12-ton andesite block and weighing 3.6 tons, was praised by journalist György Bajna, but Sándor Lezsák, the vice-president of the Hungarian Parliament, who was present at the event, called the installation of the statue very important.
Bishop József Tamás blessed the creation and at the same time the renovated Szent István square. At the same time as the statue was inaugurated, the new public square created around the church in recent years was also inaugurated. It was already visible during the farewell mass: the small children feel very comfortable here. They were happily running and chasing each other on the hill that served as the statue's pedestal. By the way, the hill was completed years ago, and in the winter, when there is enough snow, it is a popular sledding and sliding place for the children of the Bucsin district.
