Szatmárcseke place of pilgrimage

  • Szatmárcseke, pilgrimage of the Hungarian culture

    The Szatmárcseke Reformed cemetery famous far and wide of his boat-shaped grave-markers. This particular burial customs, according to some, can be the last memory of an ancient boat Ugor burial way; others believe that at that time of the flood of waters surrounding the village, the dead were only allowed to take a boat to the cemetery, so the burial customs conformed to this situation. What makes this cemetery even more special is that the people of Szatmárcseke still follow this way of burial since centuries. The significance of the cemetery is that his grave-markers guarded the tomb Ferenc Kölcsey, which is pilgrimage of the Hungarian culture.
