It shows a photo of the
flag of the Baptist Congregation of Székesfehérvár City and
some with the Christian Flag. István
Molnár translated the text on the church flag. It reads:
"Baptist Congregation of Székesfehérvár City"
(above) and "Here I gave you an open door" (below)
which is an excerpt from verse 3:8 from the book of Revelation
which says in an other translation: "I know your deeds.
Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut,
because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have
not denied My name."

The flag of The Hungarian Reformed Church. Here is a photo.
István Molnár, 30 November 2000
On the church flag there is the Coat of Arms of the Hungarian
Reformed (or Calvinist) Church. This Coat of Arms is the original
Coat of Arms of Debrecen. Debrecen
City is the largest center of the Hungarian Calvinism (and Pápa,
Sárospatak, Kolozsvár Cluj). Above the Coat of Arms: A
HAZATÉRÉS TEMPLOMA - appr: The Church of the Coming Home (I
think my translation is not entierly correct. The word:
hazatérés is more patriotic. For example:
"Hazatérés", when the soldiers returned from the war
to the homeland or a boy returned to our mother...). Under the
Coat of Arms there is the motto of the Hungarian Reformed Church:
"Ha Isten velünk, kicsoda ellenünk. (Róm.8.32)" .

"If God be for us, who can be against us?" according
to The Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version, published 1611
(Romans 8:31).
Colin Dobson, 2 March 2006
Most modern translations say "If God is for us...",
this form of the subjunctive of "to be" in modern
English usually being reserved for matters that are completely in
doubt, and even then being rarely used.

I have just returned from Prague. In Prague, I took part in
the council meeting of the International Council of Unitarians
and Universalists. I had the chance to look at some of the
materials of the Hungarian and Transylvanian Unitarians, and it
seems that they use a banner like the flag above, but with some
additional text.

Rob Raeside forwarded: "Flags of the Order's
jurisdictions feature an argent shield, quartered with a cross
vert, with a national symbol placed in the chief sinister
quarter. Grand Priory of Hungary jurisdictional symbol is the
crown."
However, <www.st-lazarus.net>
shows, the national symbols in the canton, which is the chief dexter
quarter.

I reported the flag used in Hungary by the branch of the Order
there when I was reporting my visit to Budapest in May 2001. It
was shown on the exhibition of the church heraldry among only
several flags shown there.

The St. Stephen (Szent Istvan) basilica construction started
in 1848, stopped immediatly, was resumed in 1851 after the War of
Independence, followed by the immediate death of the two
architects, and even the dome collapsed during the works. The
church was finally consecrated in 1905, and in 1931 it was
awarded the title 'basilica minor' by the Holy See. The right
hand of Stephen I, the first Hungarian king, the 'Holy Right', is
preserved here in a shrine exposed in a side chapel close to the
church entrance.
One of the flags are displayed in the chapel is a vertical banner
of proportion 2:1, vertically divided red and green, with a white
Hungarian cross with curved edges. Flag has a golden fringe on
the lower edge. Looks like a typical procession banner.

The "Hungarian cross flag" is the flag of the
