It was raining pretty hard when we finished supper at Vapiano's on the Pest side of Budapest. We were walking through the narrow streets filled with people towards St. Stephen's Basilica and a Starbucks next door. It was the night before Easter.
With an almost very active two-year-old in hand, we walked up the steps of the basilica where they were conducting mass. It was packed with worshippers who were standing. It was amazingly beautiful in a Vatican City sort of way.
We stayed in the very back for a few minutes and then left for Starbucks and a hot cup of coffee. While drinking our coffee, we could hear the a gathering from the church conducting a vigil through the streets singing hymns. I'd put this on my list to see again the next time we go to Budapest. Here's a picture of the inside taken by my son-in-law on his iPhone.
