There is a sign on one Hungarian church (the biggest church in Hungary), which is situated in Esztergom, on the Hungarian-Slovakian border. It is written in Latin and I don't understand it all.

CAPUT, MATER ET MAGISTRA ECCLESIARUM HUNGARIAE

It's something head, mother and teacher ... Hungaria :roll:
"If this is the best of all possible worlds,then what must the others be like?"

Voltaire, Candide, Chapter 6.

It means something like that, I suppose:

The head, the mother and the master of the christians/churches of Hungary
"Aimer le vrai parce qu'il est vrai et non juger vrai ce que disent ceux que l'on aime."
George Steiner.
