Last year after walking by the St Stephens Basilica in Budapest, I had the chance “take part” in the traditional Easter Mass.  The Catholic Easter Mass in Budapest is the most important Religious Event of the year for the Church, so everyone prominent Catholic in the City converged to the St Stephens Basilica to take part. Despite the heavy rain, the Basilica was packed with devoted Hungarians.
