RELIGION IN HUNGARY
Because of the variety of previous regencies you will find today in Hungary a pretty open view about religion. 68% are roman catholics, 21% Reformed Protestands (calvinists), 6% Evangelican Protestants (Lutheran) and the rest is divided into Greek Catholic and Orthodox, Jews and some still converted to Islam (due to Turkish occupation).

Hercegkut
Here is one of the caves where the hungarian stores their wines. It goes down a few meters and there is a constant temperature in there. I got claustrofobiac and I had to run out, also because, unfortunately, or fortunately I don't like alcohol.
But it's nice to see how it works.
Greek Ortodox Church
by Juditta
It is a historic building of outstanding value of our town. It was built in baroque style. Building began in 1785 by the Greek community who had escaped from the Turkish rage in the Balkan during the 17th-18th century. It took 21 years to finish building it. Its inner decoration, such as the 16 metre tall iconostas made by Jankovich Miklós, its biblical scenes, sacred images and paintings on the columns fascinates the visitor. The Russian Tsarina Katherine 2nd presented the Mary of Kazan devotional picture, which can be seen in the nave, to the Hungarian Greek Church. Next to the church there is the Hungarian Orthodox Church Museum, which was opened in 1985. The artefacts of the museum were gathered from nine Hungarian orthodox churches.
The National Theatre of Miskolc
by Juditta
This building is unique amongst the classicist buildings of Miskolc. This stone-built theatre was opened on 24th of August 1823 without public support but with the generous help of the citizens of Miskolc and with the grants of some charitable lords. It was the first stone-built theatre in the country. In 1843 Miskolc went through its biggest conflagration in which the theatre was burnt down as well. It was rebuilt based on Cassano József's plan in 1846. It was renovated several times throughout the years. The present reconstruction started in 1990. The reshaping, renovation and "the block building in" were done based on Bodonyi Csaba's plan. The Museum of Theatre and the History of the theatre was handed over in the autumn of 1996 and can be found at 3 Déryné Street. Legacies of the actors and actresses were put in place raising a monument to the memory of the actors who were attached to Miskolc. Material remains and documentary materials preserving visibly the history of the buildings of the theatre, its construction and reconstruction and the work being done at present.
