I recently spent a few days in Eger, a smallish city in northern Hungary, known for its wines and surviving the Turkish seige of 1552. While there, I attended a mass in honor of Saint Stephen of Hungary (August 20 is a national holiday in his honor). The Archishop of Eger presided over the mass, held at the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Apostle, see below.

Turns out the mass was recorded for television, and I appear in the short summary report that was featured in the evening news.
See you if you can pick me out from the pews at around 2:06. Hint, I'm the guy with closed eyes.
Note: I often close my eyes when concentrating on speeches or music, but in all honesty, I could have simply drifted off. The homily was not all that "engaging."
Additional note: You can set auto-translated subtitles if at all interested the report's content.
