SZOLNOK, HUNGARY


A Nativity scene in Szolnok city center.  


Christmas lights.


A Jewish Synagogue.  Judging by the condition of it, I would guess they use this Synagogue.


A walking bridge across the River Tisza.  The auto bridge is only a few yards up the river.  


The bridge is called the gate of Nagykunság over the River Tisza.


The River Tisza.





The Theatre in Szolnok.  A few famous people have performed there.


In Hungary it is customery for the bride and groom to walk down the streerts to their wedding.


It is an honor to see a wedding.  Branch President, Bíró Szóltan and Farkás Mónika are the groom and bride.  (i hope I spellled their names correctly.  Last names first.)  It looks like the Elders will be on time.  

Beautiful bridesmaids.

The ring bearers look like princesses.  


Here comes the bride and groom. 


The City offical was a woman is this case.  Hungarian rule is that you must be married by a government official.  Hungary does not recognise church authority in a marriage.  This choice couple will not be able to go to the Temple until they have been married for one year.



A reception at the Church house.  The bride served the cake to their friends.  It was a joyous occassion.  



Just a typical street in Szolnok.


Statues similar to those in the States.  Atkinson Növèr is sitting by this girl and standing by the fisherman.  Every city puts up a Christmas decoration in the middle of city center.  This one is not finished yet.  They all have 4 candles.  They light each candle each Sunday before Christmas.
