Summary

Five fragmentary cycles of the Last Judgment from village churches from medieval Hungary showing the Virgin of Mercy in the act of the intercession are studied as an iconographic peculiarity in the present paper. One of them (Petõszinye/Svinica) is situated in present Eastern Slovakia and four further exemples (Bögöz/Mugeni, Gelence/Ghelinþa, Sepsikilyén/Chilieni, Szék/Sic) in Transylvania belonging at present to Rumania. Beside the act of intercession, mainly the wall-paintings in Bögöz and Sepsikilyén indicate that the mantle of the Virgin was considered as a transitory place or refuge for the faithful. One can conclude that her mantle appears as an allusion to the concept of Purgatory. Beside contacts with the orthodox Church, the Author hypothesizes an impact of Franciscan religiosity as well. The interference of both cultural factors can be mainly explained by the border situation of this region.
