Brother Dermot in front of the statue of Virgin Mary in the Church of the Holy Spirit in Hungary, which captures the moment of the Angelical salutation. The sculpture is the work of Tibor Rieger, a Kossuth Prize-winning (the highest Hungarian state award for the cultivation of Hungarian culture) sculptor, who is 85 years old this year and whose sculptures can be found all over the country, such as Gergely Czuczor and Ányos Jedlik (2. picture), former teachers, monks and inventors at the Benedictine secondary school in Győr. Jedlik is credited with the patent for the industrial production of soda water. The statue of St. George the Dragon Slayer in the main street of Győr, or the statue of St. Alexius (in Hungarian "Elek") in the monastery of the Alexian Mission in Hungary, the only outdoor statue of the saint in Hungary.
