34th world eucharistic congress, budapest, 1938
on may 25, 1938, the 34th world eucharistic congress began in budapest amid solemn appearances. In hungarian, the eucharist means sacrament of the altar, and the congress movement promotes the socially recognized and enforceable power of christ, his real presence in the world. In honor of this idea, the catholic church has been organizing international eucharistic congresses since 1881. May 25-29, 1938. The services, celebrations, congress meetings and processions that took place between cardinal eugenio pacelli, secretary of state, papal legate (who later became pope as pius xii) and most of the participants. The huge international event in itself was connected with a series of major domestic celebrations, which were meant to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the canonized king as the culmination of the st. István cult that was strongly manifested in the 1930s. Naturally, the main patron of the congress, the reformed horthy, was not available, so the roman catholic governor was given this task. According to contemporary observers, the role of prime minister imrédy dominated among the politicians, whose well-known, committed catholicism played no small role in his appointment in the weeks before the congress. However, the main patron of the year of st. Stephen was already horthy, who consciously tried to take on this legacy. The two events, but above all the congress, were organized with amazing pomp and grandeur. The delegates and guests came from 33 countries, about 50 thousand, and the number of domestic participants reached half a million in some places. Tens of thousands of processions, special night devotions, then half a million holy masses, lavish illuminations in budapest, and a huge and ornate host of guests made the events memorable.
