castle tunnel

so here is the tunnel that runs under the castle hill… it was a new experience for me to walk across the top of the tunnell where kids hang out…
from the top we took pix of the chain bridge… the great seal is just left as we view it here… from this spot we walked across the Chain Bridge to St. Isvan’s

St. Istvan’s hand

This is the case that hold’s St. Istvan’s hand… you pay 100 Forints to turn on the light to see his hand…

St. Istvan died 1000 years ago… this relic is interesting, but He who is worthy of worship has both hands, feet, and every other part of His body intact after His resurrection: Jesus…

a contrast at Parlament

Below you will see the flag of the 1956 uprising… the Soviet Socialist symbol was cut out during the protests which turned violent and were crushed by Soviet tanks…

This is the grand and beautiful Hungarian parlament building which saw battles in 1956 and in 2006 as a corrupt government was protested against, the protests continue…

… thus a police presence and baracades…

…there’s something not quite right about all this…

I guess the uprising continues
