Svatuse je dedinka v regione Medzibodrozie. Jej historia siaha do zaciatku 13. storocia – z tohto obdobia pochadza aj kostol nad dedinou, ktory je dnes reformovany, ale v stredoveku bol zasvateny sviatku Vsetkych svatych, odkial je aj nazov obce. Najstarsou castou kostola je romanska veza a hlavny portal v podvezi, v 15. storoci kostol rozsirili na juznej strane a osadili tu i goticky juzny portal, na vychodnej strane rozsirili svatynu s klenbou a opornymi piliermi. Po poziari dostal kostol v roku 1794 novy malovany doskovy strop a zabradlie na empore, v roku 1907 kostol rozsirili severnou pristavbou. Romansko-gotickych kostolov v juznom Zempline mozete vidiet aj viac, avsak na cintorine nedaleko svatusskeho kostola uvidite unikatne nahrobky. Su to stihle a tenke andezitove dosky, ktore pochadzaju z kamenolomu z druhej strany vrchu Pilis, na upati ktoreho je kostol i cintorin. Je to miestny andezit s unikatnou doskovitou odlucnostou, co ulahcuje jeho pouzitie – uz v roku 1799 je pisomny zaznam o tomto doskovitom kameni, ktorym mozno ukladat dlazbu bez dalsich uprav ... Svatusania sa jeho tazbe venuju uz od stredoveku – andezitove dosky najdete zabudovane v tenkych pasoch v neomietanych plotoch, stodolach, ulozene ako dlazba na dvore. Nosili ho aj do okolitych obci – napriklad stredoveky kostolik v Kline nad Bodrogom GC Kostolik ma z tohto andezitu vyskladanu klenbu svatyne – vid foto. Najkrajsie kamenne dosky – stely – vsak najdete ako nahrobky v hornej casti cintorina. Pri rucnom lamani kamena v minulosti vraj robotnici odkladali nabok dlhsie suvisle a tenke kusy, trochu im upravili koniec do trojuholnika alebo obluka a skladovali ich zahrabane v hline alebo v pivnici, aby kamen nestratil prirodzenu vlhkost. (Ked kamen vyschne, jeho rucne opracovanie je ovela tazsie.) V pripade pohrebu bolo treba uz len vyrypat meno a datumy neboztika, pripadne pridat nejaku ozdobku a trvaci nahrobok bol hotovy. Pred niekolkymi desatrociami tu bolo takychto nahrobkov ovela viac – mnoho rodin vsak uz nahradilo miestne tradicne kamenne dosky svojich predkov umelym kamenom, zakryvajucim cely hrob. Vasou ulohou je obist kostol, spocitat, kolko je na kostole okruhlych okien (X), dobre si pozriet na cintorine stare andezitove nahrobky, najst medzi nimi ten, ktory oznacuje hrob s menom KISS FERECNE a odcitat dva letopocty vo tvare ABCD – ABED, dosadit do vzorca, vypocitat suradnice finalu, vypochodovat hore cestickou medzi cintorinom a kostolom a vysplhat sa vpravo hore ...

Svatuse is a village in the Medzibodrozie region. Its history goes back to the beginning of the 13th century – that time was built the church above the village. The church now belongs to the Calvinist reformed church, but in the Middle Ages it was consecrated to the All Saints, which gave the site its name as well. The oldest part of the church is the Romanesque tower with the main porch, in the 15th century the church was enlarged on the southern side, a Gothic southern portal was added too, and a new presbytary with a vault and buttresses was built at the eastern part. After damaged by burn in 1794 a new painted wooden ceiling and wooden railings of the tribune were completed, in 1907 an adding on the nothern side. You can visit more Romanesque-Gothic churches in the area of Southern Zemplin, but in the cemetery close to the church in Svatuse you can see unique gravestones. There are slim and narrow andesite broadstones, originating from the quarry on the other side of the hill Pilis, on the foothill .... It is a local andesite with a unique platy rift, enabling its usage very much. There is a written record from 1799 documenting, that there is a plate-rifting species of stone which could be used for pavement without further handling ... The locals are winning it as surface-cutting since Middle Ages – you can find andesite plates built in slim stripes in dry-walls for fences, barns, courtyard-pavements, not just in Svatuse, but in neighbour sites as well. In the medieval church in Klin nad Bodrogom GC KOSTOLIK the vaulting of the presbytary was constructed by this stone – see picture. The most impressive broadstones – stelas – are to be found in the upper part of the cemetery. As the miners worked in the quarry, they kept the slim and longest slabs, formed their ending in a triangular or round shape and stored them covered up with clay so that the stone could not loose its natural moisture, because the manual handling of a dried stone would be much harder ... In the case of a funeral only the name and date was to add, and perhaps a small decoration too – and a longlife gravestone was ready. A few decades ago a large number of these gravestones was here, but more families changed the local traditional stones on graves of their ancestors to artificial stone, covering the whole grave. Your task is visit the church and count the number of its round windows (X), look carefully at the gravestones in the cemetery, find the one with the name KISS FERECNE and mark the data ABCD-ABED, fill into the formula, get the final coordinates, march uphill on the road between church and cemetery, turn to right and up and ....
