Horányi Mari /very busy/
Szent László hermája
Bazilika, Győr, Hungary
The most significant sacral relic in Hungary, in addition to the Holy Crown and the Holy Right. The bones were taken out from the Nagyvárad tomb in 1192 when Saint Ladislaus was canonized, and the saint king's skull was first placed in a simple relic repository, and later in the herm, and was kept in the Nagyvárad Cathedral. The cloisonné enamel chest-side of the herm is the first relic of the ornamental enamel technology that spread over Europe later. This goldsmith masterpiece, which is considered to be the most beautiful herm in Europe, is the only authentic representation of a king of the Árpád-dynasty. Demeter Náprági, Bishop of Transylvania, took the holy relic to Győr when he was nominated Bishop of Győr in 1607. The saint king's herm is shown round on a festive procession every year on 27th June.
