Seems like there's a St. Stephen's Basilica in every city! This one, like all the others is gorgeous -- inside and out. It also possesses something special. Relics (bones) of St. Stephen. You may remember we saw the hand and skull of St. John the Baptist in Istanbul. Well, this Basilica has St. Stephens hand. Its so important to the Hungarian people that they are constantly making a pilgrimage there! The Basilica holds 9000 people, so the pilgrims are always very welcome!
The interior dome! (In the next post, Jason's going straight to the top!)
The interior of the Basilica is equally stunning! (There was, however, a massive wait to see the relics, so satisfied with the beauty of the Basilica, we decided to head out -- not without one tall stop though!)
