Székelyhon reported that , the largest traditional food dedication in the Carpathian Basin was held in Csíkszereda in an unusual manner , in accordance with the epidemiological regulations This time, the thousands of believers gathered not only on Szabadság Square and its immediate surroundings, but also gathered in smaller rows, keeping a distance from each other, on the square, the promenade, Temesvári Avenue and Kossuth Lajos Street, placing the food they had brought in baskets for the consecration in front of them.
The largest event of its kind in the Carpathian Basin was organized on Sunday after a forced absence of one year. Retired bishop József Tamás thanked the gathered crowd for blessing the food again according to the old Christian custom.
Let's sanctify the food on Easter morning so that we too can meet the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ by eating the sanctified food and be his witnesses, said the bishop. He reminded us that due to the restrictions and restrictions that have lasted for more than a year, we are in great need of Jesus' encouragement to take up the trials as a cross and walk in his footsteps to the height of the resurrection. May the resurrected Lord grant that all this will end as soon as possible and that the time of liberation will come for all of us - he prayed.
After that, the clergy and ministers marched between the lines formed on the square and in the surrounding streets, and sprinkled the baskets with holy water. After the blessing, the Easter Sunday church event ended with the singing of the Hungarian and Székely hymns.
