Summary/Abstract: The Premonstratensian monastery of Jászó (Slovakia) is a spiritual development center, the center of the Slovakian men’s order of the Norbertines. The second part of the article presents how this sacred complex with the sacred art is seen in the church. The article presents the different pieces of sacred art: the alterpieces, the sculptures, the frescoes, and analyzes the whole church from the point of view of its iconography. The authors argue that the whole church, all the works of art in it are a way of initiating men on the path of Christian spirituality.
