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 Millenium flag,
but neither of them got it. Giving Millenium 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 Millenium 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 Comissioner of the
Hungarian Millenium) with two picture about the white and the red
Millenium Flag. Above is the white Millenium Flag

This is the red millenium flag. The image is based on the
picture sent by the Office of the Commisioner of the Hungarian
Millennium and a picture in the newspaper "Magyar
Nemzet".

This is church-originated, isn't it?
I asked because the design (and colours) reminded me of
somecatholic 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.
Istvan Molnar, 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 http://home.iae.nl/users/nickl/umek-150.html
there is Another Hungarian Millennium flag, It says: "This
year, Hungarians are celebrating a two-fould Millennium: thousend
years of their christianity and the founding of their kingdom in
Central Europe thousend years ago. This is symbolized by the
Hungarian flag with crown and the apostolic cross, wich is
decorating many Hungarian churches this year".

On last weekend the town council of Papa
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 CoA 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 "Millannium
flag" on its "village day"
Istvan Molnar, 18 and 24 June 2001
Yesterday was the day of Borsosgyor (part of Pápa town).
Because the village is not municipalty it didn't get Millennium
flag from the government. The Council of Pápa Town gave it to
the settlement. This local
Millenium flag is white with wolfteeth (like the
governmental). On the center there is the CoA of Hungary, not
gold bordered but black. No silver rays around the CoA but green
leaves.
Inscription above the CoA: 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
municipalties
