Saint Stevens Cathedral


GeoTagged, [N47.50027, W19.05492]

Last day in Buda Pest. Only way to see inside the church was to pretend we were going to mass. Turns out it was a high mass with a Cardinal and the president & his wife. We left after the grand entry. This was part of the memorial for the Trinam(sp) treaty after WW1 where Hungary lost much territory and many people. The new government wants countries like Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia to allow native Hungarians who were seperated by the treaty to have two passports at the least. There is a further movement to even get the land back.
