Ancient Hungarian decorative art.

Mgr. Ernest Nyry, Carmelite monk, archbishop

of the Catholic Latin mission of Baghdad,

a member of the Saint Congregation

of the Oriental Churches, awarded with

the French Legion of Honor, approaching the age of 80 came to see his disciples,

parents and friends living in Hungary for the last time, and than he transmitted

his legacy in full to his brother Josephs daughter, confiding her to preserve and

manage it.

Her father told many stories to va Nyry about the romantic priests carrier

in her childhood. The several long meeting with him in the eighties meant her

extraordinary impressions. The recorded conversations, the writings published

about the noble thinking, sainted monk, matured the conception to share her impressions

with readers. When she was handed over his diaries, texts, correspondence,

photos and recorded memories, having his uncles complete confidence, she

has already felt as an obligation to work this fantastic treasury up.

Ernest Nyrys history of lifewho was born in an ancient Hungarian noble

family in Turcansky Peter, today Slovakia in 1906, evolved in the priests vocation,

bridging world wars and continentsserved as a lesson about faith, tolerance,

decisions made in critical moments, and especially about humanity.

va Nyrys newest work follows her uncles fantastic life relying on the documents

at her disposal, many original quotations, and contemporary descriptions

with historic fidelity. The unordinary story is completed by the archive photos of

the legacy.
