my secret patron saint of hungary day

If you didn't know, Monday was the day of Patron Saint, Saint Stephan I of Hungary

I'm not sure he looked like that, but here's what wikipedia says about him, he wasn't always born St Stephan, that name isn't really Hunagarian, you namsang? heh. Apparently my parish priest told me he was like asian, well Mongolian, a lot of Hungarians in his time. late 900s were Mongolian, thats why if you go to hungary you can see a lot of slit eyed folk. So anyway, his real name was Vajk, and i just found out, he was the FIRST king of Hungary, how's bout that for some history lesson!

Ok, now i kinda remembere why he was canonized, he brought basically the religion, and growth of religion in Hungary, set up many Churches and stuff, he also dedicated quite a bit to Mother Mary if i remembered.

Although nothing exciting, he still did a lot of good in this world! if only more kings were like him, well by kings i mean leaders. I don't think we have much kings anymore, and even so they don't own much power.

May he rest in peace.
