SUNDAY starting at 3:00 in the afternoon at the United Hall on Clinton Avenue in Bridgeport a VIDEO SHOW will take place. The videos will present HUNGARIAN HISTORY with English narration. The first will show Arpád’s Hungary from the earliest origins to the year 1301. The migrations of the ancient tribes are traced from the original homeland to the Carpathian Basin. A Christian kingdom was founded, followed by gifted rulers. The second deals with the Golden Age of Hungary. Under kings Charles Robert and Louis the Great economy was booming with mining of precious metals, viticulture and cattle breeding. Cities as Sopron, Pozsony, Kassa and Bartfa became eminent places. Under Sigismund Buda took on new splendor. Hungary defended Europe from the growing power of the Ottoman Empire. The third is about the greatness and decline. Janos Hunyadi led the campaigns to drive back the Turks. King Matthias brought Hungary’s power to the zenith. Following him the Jagellonian monarchs lost control that led to a rapid deteriation. We learn about the Peasant Uprising and finally about the fateful battle of Mohács. This history series is sponsored by the First United Church of Christ and the American Hungarian Heritage Association. A reception will follow the show. It would be appreciated if you want to bring along some of your baked goodies, or join your church organizations that are participating. Plan to participate in these professional video shows so that you can secure a continuity of the Hungarian history. At a later time we will contimue with the rest of our history, bringing it up to date.
