Monument to the War of Independence in Maarja-Magdaleena
The memorial to the men of Maarja-Magdaleena parish who fell in the War of Independence was unveiled on 20 August 1922. In 1945, rather than smashing it, the Soviet authorities had it taken down and buried right where it stood. It lay in the ground for more than forty years. On 22 June 1988, as the Singing Revolution gathered pace, villagers dug it out again, and on 31 July 1988 the same stones were reopened as a monument, the very same stones that had been hidden for 43 years.

Eesti keeles
Maarja-Magdaleena kihelkonna Vabadussõjas langenud meeste mälestussammas avati 20. augustil 1922. 1945. aastal lasi nõukogude võim samba maha võtta ja matta sinnasamasse, kus see seisis. Üle neljakümne aasta lebas sammas maa sees. 22. juunil 1988, kui laulev revolutsioon hoogu kogus, kaevati see välja ja 31. juulil 1988 avati samad kivid uuesti mälestussambana – needsamad kivid, mis olid 43 aastat peidus olnud.
