Far away from the homeland, the Seat Captaincy of Chile celebrated St. Stephen’s day, one of Hungary’s national days.
St. Stephen (István) was the first Christian Hungarian king. The holy crown is still on display in the Parliament. The holy crown is the oldest crown, still in function in the whole world.

Saturday, June 26 was the church day at the Hungarian Protestant church of North Rhine-Westphalia. The program began with a musical worship at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Cologne. Because of the strict epidemiological rules, only 70 people were allowed to attend the ceremony this year. In Germany, all Protestant churches are in one congregation, so the Calvinist pastor Márta Gulyás is responsible for the spiritual care of all members of the reformed churches from Hungary. The pastor performs this task with great patience, as it is not easy to manage Reformed, Lutheran, or Unitarian believers at the same time. The musical background of the service was undertaken by the German staff captain of the Order of Vitéz, vitéz Gábor von Hegyi (trumpet), and Edit Mustos (organ), the cantor of the Hungarian Catholic Church. It was good to see that the congregation is growing even tin the pandemic, worship, but also a baptism and confirmation. After the lunch break Dr. Hanna Hittner Consul of Hungary gave a short presentation and answered current questions about Hungary, travel conditions, and vaccinations and holyday options in Hungary. After a smart conversation was the blessing of the congregation at four in the afternoon.

A delegation of the Order Vitéz visited the tomb of St. Elizabeth of Árpád House on Saturday, June 12. The Hungarian princess has a very great cult in Germany to this day, as she is the patron saint of Thuringia and Hesse. At his grave we commemorated her not only with a wreath but also with a bouquet of roses, because Elizabeth is usually depicted with roses. According to the legend one day the princess was just bringing bread to the poor when her brother-in-law, Count Henrik of Thuringia, questioned her and wanted to see what she was hiding in her apron. Elisabeth was frightened by her brother-in-law’s ore wrath and replied: roses. God did not want Elizabeth to be lied to, so to the wonder of miracles, when Henrik looked at his apron with force, he really only saw fragrant roses.
The Order of Vitéz believes in religion, nation and family as the most important core values. We consider it important to preserve our national self-consciousness, which is why we pay special attention to visiting and nurturing Hungarian-related memorial sites on all five continents where the members of our Order live.
