Summary
| Description |
Svenska: Kornguden i Vånga avbildad i Karl Torins uppsats "Kornguden i Wånga" i Västergötlands Fornminnesförenings Tidskrift tredje häftet (1877) sidan 60. Tryckt i Lund. Den så kallade "kornguden" var en helgonbild eller apostlabild (troligen föreställande Paulus) i trä, vilken fram till 1826 stod i Norra Vånga kyrka i Skånings härad, f.d. Skaraborgs län, Skara stift, Västergötland, Sverige. I uppsatsen berättas det att bönderna i Vånga en morgon varje vår brukade ta ut träfiguren, som allmänt kallades "kornguden", ur kyrkan och sedan föra honom omkring på åkrarna för att få god årsväxt. År 1826 blev det missväxt och då slog en uppretad bonde näsan av träfiguren. Kort därefter lämnades träfiguren in till Skara museum för att inte skadas mer.
English: Kornguden i Vånga (i.e. "the Corn God in Vånga") depicted at page 60 in Västergötlands Fornminnesförenings Tidskrift (1877). "The Corn God" is a statue of an apostle (probably Saint Paul) that until 1826 was standing i the parish church of Norra Vånga, Skåning hundred, former Skaraborg county, the Diocese of Skara, Västergötland, Västra Götaland county, Sweden. It is told that the statue was used as an idol or an heathen cult image by the farmers in the parish. They called him "The Corn God". One morning each spring they took him out of the church and carried him around the fields to ensure a good harvest. In 1826 the statue was sent to the museum in Skara. |
