Limbarska Gora
Limbarska Gora () is a settlement in the Municipality of Moravče in central Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region. How was its name coined? The name of the settlement was changed from ''Sveti Valentin'' (literally, 'Saint Valentine') to ''Limbarska Gora'' in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. Prior to this, the name ''Limbarska gora'' referred to the hill where the village stands. The place was attested in written sources in 1156 as ''Lilienberch'' (and as ''Liliemberch'' in 1202 and ''Liebnberch'' in 1338). The Slovene name is a corruption of the Middle High German name ''Limberg'', which developed from ''Lilienberg'' (< ''lilie'' 'lily' + ''berc'' 'm ...

Counter-Reformation
The Counter-Reformation (), also called the Catholic Reformation () or the Catholic Revival, was the period of Catholic resurgence that was initiated in response to the Protestant Reformation. It began with the Council of Trent (1545–1563) and largely ended with the conclusion of the European wars of religion in 1648.

The last of these included the efforts of Imperial Diets of the Holy Roman Empire, heresy trials and the Inquisition, anti-corruption efforts, spiritual movements, and the founding of new religious orders.
