Abstract

The paper was written about the church attires of the two villages of Outer-Somogy County from the 18th to the 21st century, taking into account ecclesiastical art and lo-cal history aspects. During the Counter-Reformation period, Baroque art was destined to conquer believers in the Catholic religion. A good example of this is the more than 250-year-old mass chasuble, which is a latent applied art value in Gölle. This chasuble bears several common similarities with the mass dresses from Maria Theresa ‘s embroidery workshop: it is very richly embroidered with scotch, its pattern and color are also similar. During the 19th-20th centuries not only aris-tocratic women but also peasant women embroidered mass chasubles. In these villages one can find mass chasubles with Matyo, Kalocsa and Buzsák patterns. In the case of Kis-gyalán village, we could also form a picture of the time and way of making the chasubles. The changes in the motif on the mass dresses can be well traced in the photos, from the 18th to the 21st century.
