Later, he added additional movements. A large-orchestral version was also prepared, but it abstracted the funeral mass from church liturgical performance. Francis Poulenc composed the Stabat Mater in 1951 for soprano solo, mixed choir, and orchestra after the death of a friend.

Easter in Debrecen

Easter is an important and widely celebrated holiday in Hungary, deeply rooted in both religious traditions and folklore. The holiday typically falls on a Sunday between late March and early April, depending on the lunar calendar, and it marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ for Christians. Easter Sunday is the most significant day of the Easter celebrations in Hungary. Many Hungarians attend church services to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The week leading up to Easter Sunday, known as Holy Week, is a time of reflection and religious observance. Special church services and processions are held during this period. In Hungary, Easter Monday is known as "Húsvéthétfő" or "Ducking Monday" (locally called "Vízbevető"). It is a unique Hungarian tradition where boys playfully sprinkle or even "duck" girls with water, often accompanied by a light verse or rhyme. In return, girls may offer decorated eggs or treats to the boys. This custom symbolizes the cleansing and renewal of life associated with spring. The holiday provides an opportunity for families to come together, enjoy special meals, exchange Easter eggs, and participate in the joyful spirit of the season.
