Prakfalvi Endre: Roman Catholic Churches in Unified Budapest - Our Budapest (Budapest, 2003)

Parish Church of the Queen of the Rosary, 1915

During the hostilities of the 1956 Revolution, the stained-glass windows, the front tower and the memorial hall beneath the latter were all severely dam­aged. The facade was fully restored but the memorial sites have only been par­tially reconstructed. In the Hungarian Museum of Architecture there are designs for two of Miksa Róth’s destroyed stained-glass windows. One features St. John of Capistrano administering the host to János Hunyadi (1909) with the inscription "Whoso EATETH MY FLESH, AND DRINKETH MY BLOOD, HATH ETERNAL LIFE AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT the last day” (Jn. 6.59) [Jn. 6.54 in the Authorised Version], On the other, the host is being administered to the Virgin Mary by St. John the Evangelist (1909); here the inscription says, "He that eateth me, even he shall live by me” (Jn. 6.57).
