Hungary Gives Rare Gospel to Ukraine

During his recent official visit to Hungary, Ukrainian Prime Minister Anatolii Kinakh (pictured at right) was given an 18th century Book of the Gospels in the name of the Hungarian government and people. The gospel, of Ukrainian origin, was written in Old Church Slavonic, the classical language of the Slavs. Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary, said the valuable memorial of Ukrainian culture was specially purchased from a private individual as a gift for Ukraine. Kinakh said that such a gift is “a spiritual and cultural” reinforcement “of the pragmatic economic relations” between the two countries.
