General information about Monument to postman Fedir Feketa (Perechyn)

The only monument to the postman in the country is installed in the park on the central square of Perechyn.

The monument is dedicated to Fedir Feketa, a resident of the village of Turya Remeta, who in the middle of the 19th century worked as a postman and every day covered 10 kilometers of the mountain road from his native village to Perechyn and back. He worked regardless of the weather, repeatedly met wild animals on the road, but he always delivered the mail on time, for which he received the respectful nickname "Ambassador" from his fellow villagers. After his death in 1839, grateful compatriots installed a memorial plaque on the local church with the inscription: "Fedir Feketa. In memory of the ambassador's kindness, sobriety, honesty, service."

Єдиний у країні пам'ятник листоноші встановлено в сквері на центральній площі Перечина.

Пам'ятник присвячений жителю села Тур'ї Ремети Федору Фекеті, який у середині ХІХ століття працював листоношою і щодня долав пішки 10 кілометрів гірської дороги від рідного села до Перечина та назад. Працював незалежно від погоди, неодноразово зустрічав у дорозі диких звірів, але пошту завжди доставляв вчасно, за що отримав від односельців шанобливе прізвисько "Посол". Після його смерті в 1839 році вдячні земляки встановили на місцевій церкві меморіальну дошку з написом: "Федір Фекета. На згадку про приязність, тверезість, чесність, послужність Посла".

Пам'ятник у Перечині встановили в 2005 році.
