Hungary – Dr. Imre Téglásy tells us that on 25 March their group celebrated the Day of Unborn Babies in Hungary. The festivities for the Feast of Annunciation began with a special Mass in Várpalota led by Archbishop of Veszprém, after which the priests blessed 60 roses symbolizing 6 million children murdered by the abortion dictatorship in Hungary since 1956. A procession followed to a city park during which a death bell was rung as many times as the names of unborn babies killed by abortion were read out. A hole was dug in the park as a “tomb” for all of the unborn victims who died at the bidding of their Hungarian mothers.
After Dr. Téglásy gave a memorial speech, plastic models of unborn babies wrapped in white blankets were buried in the grave and then covered with petals of roses. A “Tree of Life” was planted as a symbol of hopeful prayer for the future. The commemoration was covered by the National Radio Network “Chainbridge,” national and local TV stations, and the county daily newspaper “Veszprém Megyei Napló.”
