FolkMise is a tradition spanning several years, initiated at the Basilica in Budapest under the organization of ethnographer Katalin Juhász. Within the framework of this mass, liturgical chants sung to Gregorian melodies speak of this celebration, while folk songs preserved in tradition and transmitted through oral culture, accompanied by orchestral music, tell the story of Saint Stephen and the finding and elevation of the Holy Right Hand to the altar.
Participants in the FolkMise, regardless of denomination, can follow the liturgy and join in common prayer and singing with the help of distributed songsheets.
The FolkMise features the Saint Cecilia Choir, conducted by Dr. István Potyó, as well as folk singers Boglárka Szabó, Sára Kovács, and Evelin Vajas, along with Albert Vajas and his ensemble.
