description
The column has a triangular plan and stands on a raised surface. There are accompanying figures on the corners and sides. The figures show St. Sebastian, St. Roch and St. Aegidius. The children's figures stand for faith (fighting a dragon), hope and love (victor over death). At the base there are angels who stand for purity, devotion and humility. Three angel children with the attributes of the Transfiguration sit under the figure of Mary. A metal fence was built around the statue.
