King Saint Stephen founded the country in 1000. Country of
Hungary is 1000 years old. This shows the memorial flag, which
appears at all the settlement in Hungary.

Some "over-the-border" Hungarian populated
settlements asked the Hungarian government for Millennium flag,
but neither of them got it. Giving Millennium flags to this
settlements is politically impossible. "The neighbouring
countries and nations wouldn't be glad if their settlements will
got this flag" said the prime minister. Only two
"over-the-border" communities got Millennium flag. The
Transylvanian Hungarian Roman Catholics (I have seen this flag in
the Cathedral in Oradea/Nagyvárad) and the Transylvanian
Hungarian Reformed Church.

I've got the letter from the "Magyar Milleniumi
Kormánybiztos Hivatala" (Office of the Commissioner of the
Hungarian Millennium) with two picture about the white and the
red Millennium Flag. Above is the white Millennium Flag

This is the red millennium flag. The image is based on the
picture sent by the Office of the Commissioner of the Hungarian
Millennium and a picture in the newspaper "Magyar
Nemzet".
István Molnár, 26 March 2001
This is church-originated, isn't it?
I asked because the design (and colours) reminded me of some
Catholic jubilee banners (the kind of banners that aren't flags,
I mean) I saw last year on TV.
Jorge Candeias, 26 March 2001
No. It is used as the symbol of Hungary 1000 years old. I have
seen this flag on TV in the offices of the state authorities and
now with the Hungarian National flag below on a a new statue.
István Molnár, 26 March 2001
Well, something else in the design that was slightly
misleading was the slight 'cross' that can be seen separating the
four quarters of the "light-burst". The symbol used
itself is the 1,000 year-old sceptre of St. Stephen, Apostolic
First King of Hungary . The sceptre, along with the orb,
the sword, and the Holy Crown, compose the Crown Jewels, which
are on display at the National Museum in Budapest.
Georges G. Kovari, 28 March 2001
No. From 1 January 2000 the Crown Jewels are in the
Parliament.

At <home.iae.nl>
there is another Hungarian Millennium flag, It says: "This
year, Hungarians are celebrating a two-fold Millennium: thousand
years of their Christianity and the founding of their kingdom in
Central Europe thousand years ago. This is symbolized by the
Hungarian flag with crown and the apostolic cross, which is
decorating many Hungarian churches this year".

On last weekend the town council of Pápa
gave a "Millennium flag" to its part, to inhabitants of
Kéttornyúlak. It is an interesting thing, because only the
government has got right to give Millennium flag to communities.
The flag which I have seen on the TV is relate to the original
Millennium flag - white with wolfteeth and coat of arms but
without inscription. I try to get more information. Tapolcafo
(part of Pápa town) got a "Millennium flag' on 15th March
2001. Borsosgyor (part of Pápa town) will get a "Millennium
flag" on its "village day"
István Molnár, 18 and 24 June 2001
Yesterday was the day of Borsosgyor (part of Pápa town).
Because the village is not municipality it didn't get a
Millennium flag from the government. The Council of Pápa Town
gave it to the settlement. This local Millennium flag is
white with wolf teeth (like the governmental). On the center
there is the coat of arms of Hungary, not gold bordered but
black. No silver rays around the coat of arms but green leaves.
Inscription above the coat of arms: PÁPA VÁROS KÉPVISELOTESTÜLETE
MAGYAR MILLENNIUM 2000 (THE COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF PÁPA
HUNGARIAN MILLENNIUM 2000).
Inscription below: BORSOSGYOR TELEPÜLÉSRÉSZNEK (TO
SETTLEMENT'S PART BORSOSGYOR).
I heard some county gave local Millennium flags to their
municipalities
