Presidential Visit to the Archives

The 800^th anniversary of the mediaeval reconstruction and consecration of the Basilica of Saint Martin has been celebrated this year. On 27 August, the jubilee celebration was attended by the illustrious representatives of the Hungarian Catholic Church and those of the Hungarian public life besides the Benedictine family. The solemn liturgy was presided by the present successors of the bishops of Vác and Nyitra who consecrated the church in 1224. The celebration of the Eucharist was led, and the sermon was delivered by Bishop Marton Zsolt. The liturgy was attended, and then an address was given by Sulyok Tamás, President of the Republic, who afterwards visited our Archives with his wife, Nagy Zsuzsanna, having a look at our most important documents and codices.
