On Monday, the 17th of September, Our Lady in the Icon of Czestochowa greeted Slovenia and bid farewell to the hospitable Hungarians. The head of the Hungarian Pro-Life Movement arrived with Our Lady in the Life Mobile and presented the Icon to the representative of the Slovenian Pro-Life Movement, Valentina Pikelj. The Hungarian flag on the Life Mobile was replaced with the Slovenian flag for the next five days.
Oradea (hun. Nagyvárad) is a city in northern Romania populated with ethnic Hungarians. This area is very significant historically, due to its great defeat of the Christian troops at Mohi under the invasive pressure of the Mongolian army in 1241 A.D. Many people were brutally murdered, yet the victorious Mongolians continued to press further West into Europe.
The Czestochowa Icon has been under the care of the Pauline Order at Jasna Gora (Bright Hill) in Czestochowa since the 14th century. It is also closely connected with the history of that Order, which was founded in Hungary.
In the days that followed - the 10th and 11th of September, Our Lady traveled across Romania. In the town of Târgu Mureș (Hung. Marosvásárhely), the Icon visited the Church of St. John the Baptist. Fr. Dénes Oláh led the Rosary and made it possible for the coordinators to present the principles and ideas behind the peregrination "From Ocean to Ocean".
On Sunday, September 9th, a decision had to be made on how to repair the "Life Mobile" and go to Ukraine at the same time. The decision was easy, as it was simply impossible to continue driving without properly working brakes and wheels. Our Lady in the Icon switched vehicles, boarding the minivan belonging to Imre Telegasy, the director of the Hungarian Pro-Life movement.
