From the August 20 broadcast content.
We visit historical sites in the special holiday edition of Hely. We visit Partium, where we visit a small village called Szentjobb. The mummified right hand of King St. Stephen is St. Job. In 1061, Mercurius, the keeper of the Fehervár treasury, took King Stephen's right arm to his estate in Bihar – today's Szentjobb – to protect it from pagan rebellions. King St. László, who founded the center of Partium, founded the Szentjobb Monastery in 1083 to guard the relics, where believers made pilgrimages until the Turkish era. In 1370, the upper part of the arm went to Poland, and the lower part of the arm to Vienna in 1421. But how did the village get its name Szentjobb, what memories remain of the Middle Ages, and why is the Nagyvárad bishopric worth visiting? This will be revealed in the special holiday edition of Hely on August 20.
Speakers:
Sandor László is the President of the Pro Szentjobb Foundation.
Norbert Tutus is a local history researcher.
Attila Bala Lakatos is an archaeologist at the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nagyvárad.
