A mermaid in the place of the altarpiece, bullet-holed walls, the site of Friday night drinking sessions, benches covered with pigeon excrement, torn roofs, broken windows, looted church interiors - more than twenty churches in the Southern Region have become abandoned. Journalist and editor Erika Kabók will present the abandoned churches at the Pasarét Community Hall on November 29 at the invitation of Úr Úríti magazine.
On November 29 at 4:00 p.m. in the Pasaréti Community Hall (District II, Pasaréti út 102), the guest of the magazine Úr étirti, journalist and editor Erika Kabók, awarded with the Hungarian Golden Cross of Merit, will present the presentation. Since August, he has been visiting the churches that were added to the list of ruined churches at the conference organized by the Catholic Church in Serbia within the framework of the International Episcopal Conference of St. Cyril and Methodius. In a series launched by the Magyar Szó daily, journalist Erika Kabók prepares a week-by-week overview of the state of the churches.
Who built these churches and when? Who inhabits the villages today, why have their churches become abandoned? How did they become a target in the South Slavic war, and what happened to their art treasures? Can the deterioration be reversed? Save or tear down? Is it the task of the Church to save them? Every church is a story. Erika Kabók is asked by journalist Éva Trauttwein.
