ART AND THE REFORMED CHURCH The Calvinist branch of the Reformation did not permit figurative images in church. Book illustrations were also puritan: the title page was decorated merely by printing ornamentation; the pelican or the lamb holding the flag of the cross were among the few figurative symbols allowed. Plate work was more grandiose: the famous communion jugs with column decoration in the churches of Debrecen are among the finest of their kind, and the greatest achievement of Debrecen goldsmiths in the 17 th century. Kecskemét, in the part of Hungary occupied by the Turks, also had several accomplished goldsmiths, much of whose work survives in the town and its surroundings. The decorations here, as in Debrecen, were conserved up to the 18th century. Plate and jewellery for György Rákóczi I, Prince of Transylvania, had vessels made in Kolozsvár [Cluj] for churches in both the region beyond the river Tisza and Transylvania. Among the finest and most famous of this work is the golden chalice by the Kolozsvár goldsmith Stephanus Brozer, which the Prince presented to the Farkas utca Church. Tablecloths for the communion table were mostly decorated with a specifically Hungarian form of embroidery known as úrihímzés; their flower motifs, compositions were common throughout the Lutheran and Reformed churches, and even in Catholic churches.
