I love God’s creation. I love seeing Him with every step that I take. Today I saw God in so many ways. I had the incredible blessing of touring Margaret’s Island in Budapest, Hungary. Thanks to an app on my iphone called “Pocket Guide”, I was able to learn some amazing history about this tiny island. Here’s some pictures:
These first two were taken along the Danube River, with the Hungarian flag in the background. I’m have a growing love for the people of Hungary. May they find hope and forgiveness in Jesus Christ.
Margaret’s Island was first settled around 1100 a.d. by monks. It’s a beautiful island with rich history. This chapel was originally built in 1100. It was destroyed in 1540 by the Turks, but in 1930 the relics were used to rebuild it. The church bell, which was built in the 1400’s, was found in 1930 buried in the ground and is now placed in the steeple. Amazing!
Below is a picture of the original altar from Saint Margaret’s monastery that was built in the 1200’s. Margaret was the daughter of King Béla IV of Hungary. She lived in the Dominican monastery on the island. It was an incredible blessing to stand on the ground where almost 1000 years ago Christians worshiped the same Lord that I worship today. Jesus will be worshiped today, yesterday, and forever more!
