Hungary History
Saint Stephen
Stephen Iᵉʳ or Saint Stephen, born around 975 and died on August 15, 1038, founded the Kingdom of Hungary, of which he became king in 1000 or 1001. Canonized in 1083 for the evangelization of his country, he is today considered a the patron saint of Hungary and celebrated by the Catholic Church on August 16.
King St Etienne consecrated his country to the Virgin Mary. Hungary was the first country to be consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Hungary was surely touched by the Heart of God, because He chose this country to give his Flame of Love to the world.
We are all proud to see Hungary being at the forefront of the Flame of Love Movement. Elizabeth was therefore the first to be worthy of this marvelous gift for humanity.

The Incredible Story
Of Hungary and its people who have lived through so many hardships for more than a thousand years
and who nevertheless knew how to keep his Catholic faith.
Hungarians or Magyars, Ugric people living in Hungary, nearly 9.75 million and constituting significant minorities in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia and Ukraine; in Canada there are nearly 28,000 and in the United States nearly 1.5 million. Hungarians are Christians, mostly Catholics; they speak Hungarian. Hungary is called the pearl of the Danube.

The Ottomans (Muslims) of Turkey, eternal conquerors, had set their sights on Eastern and Central Europe, the invasion of Hungary was inevitable.
Crowned, Suleiman the Magnificent (Muslim), equipped a large army of almost 400,000 men and 30,000 camels, 40,000 horses and 300 cannons.
1526
He marched on Catholic Hungary and despite the heroism of his defenders, he disintegrated the army in less than 48 hours. Then he arrived in Buda, present-day Budapest, He set fire to it. The Hungarian ruler "Louis ll" was martyred in the Battle of the Mohacs. (Left photo) The reason for this battle was the Hungarians' refusal to accept the Islamic religion. Louis had asked the Ottomans why they attacked Hungary; they replied that it is because Hungarians are disbelievers or kafirs. Suleiman the Magnificent completed the occupation, and Hungarians (men, women and children) were soon sold in the Istanbul slave market, numbering 100,000.

Hungary had no hate interest towards the Turks, they did nothing towards the Ottomans. It took them 500 years before Hungary got rid of Islam. Today there are nearly 32,000 Muslims in Hungary, their history is largely based on the ancient occupation of Hungary by the Ottoman Empire, Islam, coming from Turkey.

Virgin Mary - "As the Flame of Love of my Heart was kindled here, in Hungary, for this reason I want to implement many of my desires from here. Humanity needs my request to be fulfilled with the greatest dedication."
While the Blessed Virgin was talking about Carmel, Jesus interrupted her:
JESUS - "Because my Mother's Flame of Love is Noah's Ark[1]."
The Lord Jesus repeated this many times too.
[1]Let us remember the promise of the Blessed Virgin that she extends the effects of grace of her Flame of Love to all souls who are marked with the sign of the blessed Cross of her holy Son. The sign of the Cross blinds and drives out Satan in the same way as the prayer received from the Blessed Virgin: "Spread the effect of grace of your Flame of Love on all humanity" or that of the Lord Jesus: "May our feet walk together…”
