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
"Saint Stephen Order of Knighthood" (in Hungarian:
Szent István Lovagrend).
