On July 23 2016, pro-life representatives from various countries will hold an international March for Life in Budapest. The parade will begin to the sound of the noontide Angelus bells that commemorate the 1456 victory of Christian Europe over a Muslim invasion force at Nándorfehérvár (Belgrade). The march will start in the square named after Saint John Capistrano, a hero of the battle, and it will end on Saint Margaret’s island on the River Danube in the heart of the Hungarian capital.
The march will be the main public event in a weekend-long programme of activities in defence of Unborn children and to protest both at the immoral and unChristian brutality of abortion and the disastrous demographic impact of murdering literally MILLIONS of unborn Europeans.
