Today, we're diving into the fascinating story of St Stephen, Szent István király, the first King and Patron Saint of Hungary.
We'll explore his incredible journey from his pagan roots to becoming an uncontested ruler, the massive impact he had on Hungarian culture and government, and how he helped shape the country into a key player in Europe.
Stephen's reign marked a turning point in Hungarian history. His impact on Christianity, government, and culture helped Hungary become more aligned with the rest of Europe. Stephen's efforts ultimately transformed the nomadic warrior tribe from the central Asian steppes into a prosperous European kingdom.
Today, Hungary stands as a testament to Stephen's vision and dedication. His reign laid the foundation for a nation that has continued to evolve and adapt over the centuries.
Despite numerous challenges and changes in the political landscape, Hungary remains a country rich in culture and history, thanks in large part to the first king and patron saint, Stephen.

However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
