Brother Barry in front of the Ark of the Covenant Statue, Győr, Hungary

The statue is one of the most beautiful Baroque monuments in Győr. Above the Ark of the Covenant, which symbolizes the Old Testament, is a lamb sitting on a seven-sealed book, representing Jesus, the author of the New Testament. According to the official story, a soldier suspected of bigamy and using pseudonyms fled to a Jesuit monastery in 1729, where he was surrounded by soldiers. The monks tried to bring the fugitive to safety in the Bishop's Castle to end the blockade. However, the soldier, dressed as an altar boy, was recognised by his companions in the Corpus Christi procession and the armed soldiers disrupted the procession. During the scuffle, the priest's ostensory fell out of his hand and broke. The monument was erected in 1731 by King Charles III to atone for the damage done to the Eucharist.
