For almost a month, the decorative harvest wreath was woven in Hajdúnánás, which was placed in a ceremonial setting on Thursday in the St. Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest.

Since 2018, the production of a monumental harvest wreath symbolizing the unity of Hungarian farmers has been a traditional and prominent element of the Bread of the Hungarians – 15 million grains of wheat program.

In the numerology of this year’s wreath, there is a reference to the Virgin Mary, on the lower horizontal circle there are 17 uniform motifs, just as the rosary prayer of the Virgin Mary consists of 17 Our Fathers. The number 17 symbolizes self-discipline, compassion, responsibility, spiritual awareness and wisdom – it was said at the ceremonial handover.

Hajdúnánás is a city where we take care and live the values that ensure a healthy and beautiful future for the coming generation – stressed Ildikó Nagyné Legény, president of the Association of Hungarian Farmers’ Cooperatives and Farmers’ Cooperatives (MAGOSZ) of the Women’s Section, deputy mayor of Hajdúnánás.
