Our Africa photo exhibition is once again hosted in a new location

On Sunday, May 13, we opened our "Get to Know the World!" photo exhibition in the National Memorial Park in Nagygéc. The event was attended by Representative Sándor Kovács, and the opening ceremony included a service led by Kont Szalay, the archpriest, at the Church of Preservation.

Nagygéc is a culturally significant site, located near the Romanian-Hungarian border, next to Csengersima. It was nearly destroyed in the 1970 flood and became a "ghost village."

The village, with its population of just one, symbolically represents the heritage of our country—memories worth preserving and further developing.

The Church of Preservation (Excerpt)

"In 1850, Baron Haynau purchased the Nagygéc plain. An ancient Hungarian land, located in Szatmár, 200 kilometers from Arad... Then, Haynau invited the local Hungarian nobles to his place—but none ever went. Later, the hyena itself visited, but the gates were shut before it. Therefore, Haynau left the Nagygéc plain, and the Lubyaks stayed, along with the dear Hungarian peasants from Szatmár, and the Hungarian Jews remained in Nagygéc. And they lived in peace and love with each other for a long time..."
