Csaba Böjte was the guest of the summer farewell Ej, mi a kő - My mother's hen . The Franciscan monk spoke about the love path in Székelyhíd as part of the festive mass.
The learning trail guides couples and engaged couples through nine stops along the way of their relationship. It is a kind of pilgrimage route, each stop of which is marked by a column, the trees, bushes, and flowers also have a symbolic meaning.
The path of love presents the traditional path matured over thousands of years, taught every day in church engagement classes, also traveled by Sándor Petőfi and Júlia Szendrey, authenticated by their love and happy marriage.
The nine stages of this path to family happiness - self-awareness, impasse, getting to know each other, decision, courtship, asking for a girl, sex life before marriage, betrothal-marriage and eternal loyalty - will be shaped at Székelyhíd.
With the educational path, we can authentically present pure love, the beauties of family life based on marriage, and its sustaining power as an example to be followed by today's young people
- said Csaba Böjte.
The Székelyhíd educational trail is not implemented alone by the Szent Ferenc Dévai Foundation, founded by brother Csaba. Several settlements, entrepreneurs, associations and the city of Szabadszállás also play a role in the project.
Two years ago, thanks to László Rideg, the president of the Bács-Kiskun County Municipality, we had the opportunity to get to know Csaba Böjte's idea. In addition to the county government, three settlements connected to Sándor Petőfi joined the initiative.

Kiskőrös undertook the edging of the park's traffic trail, Kiskunfélegyháza the procurement of bushes, trees, and flowers for the green area, and Szabadszállás the construction of the pavement surface of the edging trail.
We also offered to help with the design and renovation of additional green areas of the educational trail. We contribute to beautifying the park with rose stems and saplings
- said József Darabos, mayor of Szabadszállás, who added that the multi-million HUF project will be implemented through grants and job offers.
In two years, the construction of the love path in Székelyhíd progressed very well so that it could shine in its final splendor, however, additional help and cooperation is needed.
After the celebratory mass, an exhibition was opened in Nagyventéglő, where those interested could see the photos taken from the love trail in Székelyhíd.
