CZ: Sloup na slánském námestí se sochou Immaculaty pocházel z roku 1681 a pripomínal morovou epidemii v predchozím roce, pri níž ve meste zahynulo 405 lidí. Dne 6. cervence 1919 byl sloup v rámci oslav výrocí Husova upálení a s tím spojených protikatolických nálad nesmyslne stržen a socha rozbita. Evidentne se tak stalo pod dojmem stržení Mariánského sloupu v Praze o necelý rok dríve. Nezachovaly se žádné fragmenty. Jak je videt z fotografie viníci se nezapomneli vyfotografovat.
EN: The column on the Slaný square with the statue of Immaculata dates back to 1681 and was reminiscent of the plague epidemic in the previous year, in which 405 people died in the town. On July 6, 1919, the pillar was absurdly torn down as part of the anniversary of Hus's burning and the anti-Catholic moods associated with it, and the statue was broken. Evidently this happened under the impression of destroying the Marian Column in Prague almost a year earlier. No fragments were preserved. The culprits were photographed.
