Saint Stephen founded the Kingdom of Hungary in the year 1000. He brought Catholicism (western christianity) and the concept of the Holy Crown to the Magyars.
Saint Stephen's Basilica is one of the gnarliest and most well known buildings in Budapest. It houses the mummified right hand of Saint Stephen.
The massive Basilica steps also happen to be a popular spot for local Hungarians to go out and have a drink on a nice summer night. When asked why Hungarians like to go have a beer at this sacred location a local college kid stated, "because we don't really care about any of that stuff" and gave a lighthearted laugh.
Word up Hungary.
Out with the Old and in with the New.
Love,
Mamas Boy
