History

Nagy Mózes was a Catholic priest, born in 1630 in Esztelnek and died on 8 February 1709 in Zágon. He studied theology in Nagyszombat and Vienna. From 1674 he was parish priest of several villages in Felsőháromszék. He strongly opposed the spread of the Reformation, and it is thanks to this that a large part of Felsőháromszék remained Catholic. He first founded a school in 1680 in Esztelnek and then moved it to Kanta, which was then separate from Kézdivásárhely. Teaching began there in 1696. His statue was inaugurated on 15 May 2010 in front of the lyceum named after him, the successor of the school he founded, and it is the work of Vetró András.
