WOW! The Hungarian flag was projected on Matterhorn, the most well-known peak of the Alps!
Change language:
That is how Zermatt wanted to thank the work of the Hungarian doctors and nurses and encourage all Hungarians in their fight against the coronavirus epidemic.
Matterhorn is one of the most well-known peaks of the Alps with its 4,478 metres above sea level. On April 23rd, at 11 pm, the mountain was illuminated with the colours of the Hungarian national flag as a symbol of solidarity and encouragement. Interestingly, according to index.hu, Zermatt did so because of an email from a Hungarian tourist who asked them to include Hungary in their peak illumination program. He was successful and between the national flags of Austria and Poland
the commanding peak was red-white-green for 20 minutes.
According to zermatt.ch, they projected various images onto the Matterhorn in the evenings of the past five weeks, and their initiative was very successful worldwide. Zermatt did so because they believe that light is hope.
“The images projected on the iconic Swiss mountain were words such as ‘hope’, ‘solidarity’ and ‘thanks’, national flags and cantonal coats of arms, as well as symbols such as a heart, an earth globe or mountaineers reaching out their hands to one another. All in all, Zermatt projected over 80 images on its local mountain” – they said on their website about the project.
Beautiful and Touching.
The message of our flag, gloriously illuminated – shone, atop of the Matterhorn, should be read as one that continues to motivate and inspire us, in our beloved Hungary, in our challenge that we confront with this novel coronavirus pandemic.
Hope – United and we will raise our beloved flag on our land in glorious victory.
Stay Well – ALL.
