St. Martin's Day, known as "Szent Márton nap" in Hungarian, is a traditional holiday celebrated in Hungary on November 11th. This holiday has historical, religious, and cultural significance in Hungarian society and is often associated with the beginning of winter and the customs related to it. Here are some key aspects of St. Martin's Day in Hungary: Feast of St. Martin: St. Martin's Day is named after St. Martin of Tours, a patron saint known for his acts of charity and for sharing his cloak with a beggar. He is also associated with the blessing of the new wine, which is an important aspect of the celebration. Wine and Gastronomy: St. Martin's Day is often referred to as "the feast of the new wine" or "the day of the goose." It marks the time when the year's new wine is traditionally tasted and blessed. Roasted goose is a popular dish on this day, and it is often accompanied by red cabbage and dumplings. This meal is a central part of the celebration. Harvest and Thanksgiving: St. Martin's Day is seen as a time to celebrate the successful harvest of grapes and other agricultural produce. It's an occasion for giving thanks […]

Last year, photographer Rudolf Jakkel was waiting for those who thought they would like to help the animals living in the shelter at Lake Vekeri - the money raised for the photo shoot was entirely donated to the "Together for Animals" ( „Együtt az Állatokért”)  Animal Protection Association to help them settle their medical bills - this time his studio will be the venue for the noble event. This year, it's not just dogs that he expects to see in front of his camera.  As it says on Facebook, besides dogs, "you can bring kittens, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets or any pet that lives with you as a family member". It's important to note that only house-trained animals are allowed to participate, and only vaccinated, healthy ones. The charity photoshoot will take place on Saturday and Sunday, 11th-12th November, from 10 am to 6 pm in the studio at Attila Square 3. Please bring your dog on a leash for the photo shoot and other animals in carriers, the photographer asked. The organisers ask everyone to register and arrive on time, as everyone has a quarter of an hour, and being late could mean the whole day is overcast. One […]
