On Pentecost in June, Székely Gyors and Csíksomlyó Expressz will again depart for Székelyföld. The passengers will participate in the farewell party in Csíksomlyo in the company of half a million Székely-Hungarians. During the four-day program, they will reach the former border of Historical Hungary and mentally recapture Transylvania.
Almost half a thousand other people will embark on the glorious journey organized by the Carpathian European Travel Office on Friday, June 3, on the International Pilgrim Train. The Székely Gyors departs from Budapest and the Csíksomlyó Expressz departs from Transdanubia, so that they connect in the capital and rush to Transylvania together. The four-day journey is more than just a train journey. On the train, tour guides tell stories about what they saw, Hungarian and Székely folk music is played by the train band, and the two restaurant cars serve hot and cold food all day long.
Reformed bishop László Tőkés is waiting for the train decorated with hundreds of Hungarian, Árpád-Házi and Székely flags in Nagyvárad The same uplifting welcome is repeated in all Szekler villages and towns.
