圣斯蒂芬大教堂的降临节 Advent at the basilica

圣诞市场，圣斯蒂芬大教堂，布达佩斯，匈牙利

在圣诞节来临之际，圣斯蒂芬大教堂成为了布达佩斯标志性的圣诞集市的中心。在洋溢着节日气氛的集市上，匈牙利手工艺品、节日装饰和当地美食应有尽有，充分体现了传统圣诞节的精髓。作为在圣诞节前几周举行的活动，降临节盛宴也是匈牙利节日传统的一部分，届时会邀请游客们品尝烟囱蛋糕、白菜卷和炖牛肉汤等菜肴，而空气中也会弥漫着热红酒和烤栗子的香味。对许多人来说，大教堂外墙投射的3D灯光秀是一大亮点，现代感十足的灯光秀让这座历史悠久的建筑栩栩如生。

这座新古典主义风格的大教堂是为了纪念匈牙利第一位君主斯蒂芬一世（又称圣斯蒂芬国王）。经过数十年的建设，该教堂于1906年竣工，教堂顶部是一个高耸的圆顶。游客可以参观教堂，欣赏错综复杂的彩色玻璃，或瞻仰据说是国王本人木乃伊化的右手遗骸。穹顶上有一个观景台，游客可以在此俯瞰城市的全景，如今天的图片所示。

Christmas market, St. Stephen's Basilica, Budapest, Hungary

As the holiday season kicks off, St. Stephen's Basilica becomes the dazzling centerpiece of one of Budapest's iconic Christmas markets. The fair buzzes with holiday spirit, offering a mix of Hungarian craft, festive décor, and local delicacies, capturing the essence of a traditional Christmas. The Advent Feast—an event held in the weeks leading up to Christmas and part of Hungary's holiday traditions—invites guests to savor dishes like chimney cakes, stuffed cabbage, and goulash soup, while the scent of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts fills the air. A highlight for many is the 3D light show projected onto the basilica's facade, a modern touch that brings this historic structure to life.

This neoclassical basilica honors Stephen I, also known as King Saint Stephen, who was Hungary's first monarch. Completed in 1906 after decades of construction, it is topped by a towering dome. Visitors can explore its chapels, admire the intricate stained glass, or view a relic that is believed to be the mummified right hand of the king himself. For those seeking a panoramic view, the dome has an observation deck where visitors can enjoy sweeping views of the city's skyline, as shown in today's image.

这片迷雾密布的树林里潜藏着什么? What lurks in these misty woods?

桑佩伦山上的菲泽尔城堡，匈牙利

匈牙利是一个历史悠久、风景迷人的国家，也是一个拥有众多城堡的宝库。从布达佩斯那拥有富丽堂皇的建筑并可以俯瞰多瑙河美景的布达城堡，到因成功抵御近四万土耳其大军而闻名的埃格尔城堡，每座城堡都讲述着各自关于战争、皇室和文化演变的故事。

位于在桑佩伦山脉顶端的菲泽尔城堡就是其中之一，其历史可以追溯至13世纪。菲泽尔城堡坐落在海拔约1800英尺的火山之上，在历史上也占有一席之地。1526年，匈牙利王室的拥护者彼得·佩瑞尼在摩哈赤战役后曾在这座古老的石墙内避难。沦为废墟多年之后，小教堂于2016年得到修复，城堡的下半部分也已重建，可谓恢复不少昔日荣光。而游客中心开设的展览，在讲述城堡历史的同时也向人们展示了整个村庄丰富的自然和文化遗产。

Füzér Castle in the Zemplén Mountains, Hungary

Hungary is a country blessed with stunning landscapes and a host of historic castles. From the opulent Buda Castle in Budapest, with its commanding views of the Danube, to Eger Castle, renowned for its heroic defense against the Turks, each site has a story to tell.

Our homepage image shows one such stronghold, Füzér Castle, which crowns the Zemplén Mountains near Hungary's northern border and dates back to the 13th century. Perched at an elevation of over 1,800 feet above sea level, this castle stands on a mountain of volcanic origin. Here, within its ancient stone walls, the crown of Hungary was hidden following the country's defeat by the Ottoman Empire in the 1526 Battle of Mohács. After years of ruin, the castle's chapel was restored in 2016, and the keep was rebuilt to its former glory.

冰雪帆船世界锦标赛

今天是今年在立陶宛举行的WISSA冰雪帆船世界锦标赛的开幕日。冰船，又称冰帆船，起源于17世纪的欧洲。旅行者们用装有叶片的船只穿越波罗的海结冰的里加湾和荷兰结冰的运河。如今，这项运动被视为一项娱乐和竞技活动，使用各种船、滑板、溜冰鞋和风筝。世界锦标赛自1980年开始举办，属于帆板比赛这一更广泛的范畴。祝所有在风吹雨打的冰面上争名夺利的人好运！

Ice and Snow Sailing World Championships

Today is the opening day of the WISSA Ice and Snow Sailing World Championships, which take place this year in Lithuania. Iceboating, also known as ice sailing, began in 17th-century Europe. Travelers used vessels on blades to traverse the frozen Gulf of Riga in the Baltic Sea and the iced-over canals of the Netherlands. These days, the sport is enjoyed as a recreational and competitive activity using a variety of boats, boards, skates, and kites. The world championships, which fall under the broader umbrella of windsurfing competitions, have been held since 1980. Good luck to all those out there competing for fame and glory on the windswept ice!
