Speaking at the Pannonhalma Archabbey on Monday, President Tamás Sulyok said Christianity and following Christ’s teachings represent Hungary’s moral foundations.
Addressing a celebration marking the 800th anniversary of the consecration of the abbey built in honour of Saint Martin, the president said Pannonhalma plays an important role in the survival of Christianity and in safeguarding the future of the nation, helping future generations preserve their faith and Christian Hungarian self-identity, adding that no country could work without moral foundations and order. “Pannonhalma is a place where they have been using the language of peace for a thousand years, and using this language is something that the whole world badly needs today,” he added.
