HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 HAPPY NEW YEAR

2024

Our grief-stricken day is renewed,

our woeful old year is over,

our hearts are full of joy,

Our old year has been renewed.

Forests and fields fell into mourning,

they became silent because of the winter cold

but other created animals,

those I look at are happy.

Come, let us see our Lord,

let us bow before him,

that several times for times like this,

from tomorrow to years! 

(Old Year Off Song, Farewell To The Old Year, 

Hungarian folk song from Szattmár region)

Three Kings Day,

A country of our country

Praise with songs,

With poems!

Nice sign, beautiful star,

We have a nice day,

We have a nice day.

(Three Kings Day, hungarian folk song)

Performed by the Hungarian Hurdy-gurdy Orchestra

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 "Let us rejoice, let us go to Bethlehem with gifts,

to the stable, to the manger of the lambs with the shepherds.

There the son of God was born, a little child,

the long-awaited tiny child from our fathers.

Into a hard bed and into this cold manger is our joy,

he already suffers for us from his early age, from his first hour.

Her naked body is covered with snow,

his little head is freezing from the cold wind, 

You see this, yet you do not intend our sweet Jesus.

you see this, yet you do not intend our sweet Jesus.

We promise that we'll never hurt You again,

come, sweet Jesus, come, our souls are ready and waiting!"

(Traditional Hungarian "Csángó" Christmas carol from Romanian Moldavia)

SWEDEN 500

On 6 June 1523, Gustav Vasa was elected as Sweden’s king by an assembly in Strängnäs, 59 kilometres west of Stockholm. Following his election, Sweden left the Kalmar Union with Denmark and Norway. Sweden thus became an independent nation – which it has remained ever since.
