Through the Hungarian Wine Marketing Agency, the government commissioner sent a total of 180 bottles of Tokaji Asz&uacute; from 30 Tokaj winemakers to the Vatican in advance, and he also took a bottle of Tokaji Eszencia in a special gift box to the audience on 27 December. Asz&uacute; was chosen because it is believed to be the result of an exceptional and rare harmony between God, man and nature, something that is extremely unique. During the personal meeting, the government commissioner said, &ldquo;we have come on the Feast of St John to ask for the apostolic blessing of this Tokaji Asz&uacute;, and through it, of Hungarian wine and the work of the God-fearing Hungarian winemakers.&rdquo; Tokaj is also mentioned in the third verse of the Hungarian national anthem, so the government commissioner presented elegant prints of its national prayer in three languages: besides Hungarian, in the Holy Father&rsquo;s mother tongue, Spanish, and in English translation.<\/p>\n<p>Photos: &copy;Vatican Media<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/bor.hu\/media\/uploads\/2023_\/h%C3%ADrek\/ferenc_p%C3%A1pa\/_sfo6548-himnusszal.jpg?1704359592461\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"639\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bor.hu\/media\/uploads\/2023_\/h%C3%ADrek\/ferenc_p%C3%A1pa\/_sfo6528-kisebb.jpg?1704359612329\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section__news-list\" style=\"background-color: #f3f4f8;\">\n\n    \n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12\">\n\n                                    <h4 class=\"section-title\">Olvasd el ezeket is!<\/h4>\n                \n                <div\n                    class=\"news-list__wrapper js-news-container\"\n                    data-limit=3                    data-order=DESC>\n                <\/div>\n\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":6674,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6993","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
