Today its a national holiday in Hungary. On 20 August 1083. Saint István or Saint Stephen I became one of the most popular saints in Hungary, and the date of his canonization is celebrated as a national holiday commemorating the foundation of the state. The Christian Hungarian Kingdom was created by him 1010 years ago.
We release the new mod version on his holiday.
