Why more than a thousand baskets of food are taken out on Easter Sunday in Szeklerland – photos
Every Easter Sunday, the largest traditional food consecration in the Carpathian Basin is held in Csíkszereda (Miercurea Ciuc), where thousands of people always gather.
One of the largest Hungarian-inhabited cities in Szeklerland, Csíkszereda, held the traditional Easter Sunday food consecration. The baskets containing ham, eggs, bread, and wine were blessed by retired auxiliary bishop József Tamás.
