ESZTERGOM, Hungary (Reuters) - The cross on top of Hungary’s largest church, the magnificent Esztergom Cathedral, has been hiding a 176-year-old time capsule that was only recovered during renovation work this year.
The sealed copper canister was inside the cross on the 100-metre dome, the highest in Hungary, which survived being bombed during World War Two.
The container was also badly damaged by shrapnel but when they opened it, historians discovered documents in near-perfect condition relating to the cathedral’s construction.
Csaba Torok, director of the Cathedral’s Treasury, said the papers gave a rare glimpse of the time when the church was built from 1822 onwards.
Put Together A Family Time Capsule This Weekend
This Easter weekend isn t going to be like ones we ve seen in the past. We ve been dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic for a little over a year and this time last year, we had no idea that a year later we d still be under so many safety protocols. About the only good thing about this past year is spending more time with your family. During that time a lot of families have been taking time to talk about family history but this weekend you could do more than talk.
Take this weekend to put together a family time capsule. It s time to take advantage of being able to sit down and go through family papers or photographs with your kids. They need to know the history of your family and learn to leave something for future generations.
