The Ceiling of the Church of Anthony of Padua

Always the ceiling. This is place where the details, almost invisible from the floor, abound.

The Church of Anthony of Padua

There is an intensity to the beauty here. No one color dominates the scene, yet there are colors everywhere that draw the eye. The details draw you into the scene and into the right frame of mind.

Dobo Istvan Ter...The Church of Anthony of Padua

Back in the Dobo Istvan Square, we find the Church of Anthony of Padua. If it looks like we are moving from one church to another...well we are. It is very warm in the sunshine and the streets are filled with folks here for a some sort of street fair (lots of stalls selling things we don't need and "musicians" playing things are really don't want to hear). We've already eaten so ca can't find an excuse for visiting a restaurant again. Thus, we head to the churches to see what we can see.

Before we move ahead with more photos, let me pause to wish all my US friends a happy 4th of July. While there a great many things about which to be unhappy about in the US at the moment, there is still hope that we can redeem the mess and recover the country we all know and love. Keep your fingers crossed and work hard to reclaim our future. Now back to the regularly scheduled programming.

More of the Cistercian Church of Saint-Bernard-et-Saint-François-de-Borgia

Unlike St. Stephen's Basilica or the Opera house in Budapest where the gold ornamentation is wall-to-wall, this place uses gold as an accent with the heavy lifting done by things in gray and white.

Eger is a city of churches, many of which we did not visit. It was a warm, crowded day and we ran out of steam pretty quickly. But this unusual one caught my eye.

A Visit to Eger...Walking the Streets

One place we wanted to go on our previous trip was the town of Eger. It is about a 2 hour train ride away and rumored to have many things worth seeing. The first such thing we saw as this statue of Dobo Istvan in one of the central squares.
