The flag shown above is the flag of the Association of the Friends of the
Csangos in Italy. On it is the sculpture of Saint Mary in Csíksomlyó - the
place of the Great Hungarian Pentecostal Festival. The colours red, white and
green relate to the Hungarian national colours. The Csángós are a religious and
national minority. They are appr. 300 000 Roman Catholic in Moldova (Romania),
and appr. 80 000 have known their ancestor's language: Hungarian.
