CZ: Podle krestanské verouky byla Panna Marie manželkou Josefa a matkou Ježíše Krista.
Socha P. Marie je umístena v predzahrádce dekanství. Útlá postava korunované madony, držící v levé paži Ježíška, stojí na vysokém barokne tvarovaném podstavci. Uprostred rímsy je osazená ozdobne tvarovaná kartuše s latinským nápisem TU NOS / AB HOSTE PROTEGE / ET MORTIS HORA / SUSCIPE (Ochran nás pred neprítelem, a prijmi nás v hodine smrti). Nad rímsou je vlastní sokl sochy s bocními stranami volutove zavinutými a zatíženými koulemi. Stred soklu zdobí dve hlavy andílku. Velmi štíhlá figura je zachycena v kontrapostu uvolnené pravé nohy.
EN: According to Christian doctrine, the Virgin Mary was the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus Christ.
The statue of the Virgin Mary is located in the front garden of the deanery. A slender figure of the crowned Madonna holding a baby Jesus in his left arm, stands on a tall Baroque-shaped pedestal. In the middle of the ledge is fitted ornately shaped cartouche with the Latin inscription TU NOS / AB HOSTE PROTEGE / ET MORTIS HORA / SUSCIPE (Protect us from the enemy, and receive us in the hour of death). Above the cornice there is a statue's own plinth with laterally wrapped and loaded balls. The center of the plinth is decorated with two heads of cherubs. The very slender figure is captured in the contrast of the relaxed right leg.
