- Abstract
The initiative to raise a monument in memory of the missionary Ignacij Knoblehar (1819-1858) and to relocate his body from Naples to Slovenia came from an unknown author in Laibacher Zeitung. Zgodnja Danica published the lists of donors (money was primarily gathered by priests) and various suggestions about the location of Knoblehar's monument. Some thought it would be better to send the money to the missions in Africa instead of erecting a monument. A memorial plaque for Ignacij Knoblehar was unveiled in 1867 in the parish church of St. Cantianus and His Companions in Škocjan na Dolenjskem, the missionary's birthplace. The marble medallion with the missionary's portrait was the work of the sculptor Franc Zajec.
