AUGUST 20 is SAINT STEPHEN'S DAY IN HUNGARY
AUGUST 20th is SAINT STEPHEN'S DAY IN HUNGARY. There are state celebrations such as firework displays as Saint Stephen is credited with FOUNDING HUNGARY and making it a Christian nation in 1000 AD. It is his crown that it used as an icon for Hungary and the real crown still exists. But that's not all that exists. When Stephen was canonized as a saint on August 20 1083, it was found that he his hand was still "fresh" and so it was removed and is mummified and on display (It looks kind of gray!)
