Anton Martin Slomšek, Bishop of Lavant (Maribor), stimulated national consciousness also by popularizing the so-called home saints, such as Maximilian of Celeia, Victorinus of Poetovio, Hermagoras and Fortunatus, Modestus, Virgilius, Cyril and Methodius, Hemma of Gurk, Lihardis of Stein etc. He attended to publish their biographies and images which appeared on the frontispieces of Drobtinice in the years 1847–1858 (of the authors of drawings, Jožef Reiterer, Viljem Lichtenegger and Ignacij Župan are known). These steel engravings were the ideational and partly also formal origin for the frescoes, painted in 1886 in the parish church at Nova Cerkev by Jakob Brollo. The iconographic programme for the assembly of home saints, acting as a heavenly phalanx in defence of all (and especially Styrian and Carinthian) Slovenians and of Slovenianship, was made by the nationally minded parish priest Lavoslav Gregorec.
