20th of August celebrations

We celebrate 3 things on the 20th of August in Hungary: - The foundation of Hungary. - The feast of King Saint Stephen (István), who was the founder of Hungary. He worked to integrate formerly nomadic and pagan Hungarians into the Christian Europe. - The feast of the new bread. Priests bless loaves of bread, traditionally baked from the fresh grain of the summer’s harvest.
