Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese
Day 13: Archdiocese of Alba Iulia
Located in Romania but serving mostly ethnic Hungarians, I admit I chose this one because it was originally the Diocese of Transylvania, which seems like a fitting choice for the 13th day of this exercise. That original diocese was formed in 1009 by Stephen I of Hungary, and didn't change to its current name until the 1930s.
I just kind of like the idea that Vlad the Impaler liked going to mass so he could have more blood.
