Žehra (German: Schigra; Hungarian: Zsigra) is a village and municipality in the Spišská Nová Ves District in the Košice Region of central-eastern Slovakia.
The oldest wall paintings are a set of eight consecration crosses, marking the spots where the original building was christened with holy chrism, and thus dating back to the 13th century.
On the north wall are two notable 'framed' frescoes, one depicting the Pietà, the other showing a symbolic Tree of Life which dramatises the triumph of the Church over the Synagogue.
Due to this, the region of Žehra is seen as the location for the northernmost extent of the Ottoman expansion into Europe along with the city of Vienna.
These paintings were preserved because after an outbreak of plague in the 17th century, the interior of the church was covered with lime plaster for disinfection.
