“It is natural for the heart and spirit to take pleasure and enjoyment in all things that show forth symmetry, harmony, and perfection. For instance: a beautiful house, a well designed garden, a symmetrical line, a graceful motion, a well written book, pleasing garments. All things that have in themselves grace or beauty are pleasing to the heart and spirit.” – ‘Abdu’l-Baha

A Matyók whose heritage enraptures the heart. The vivid colors of their dresses and the countless red matyo roses remind us of the folk tales of our childhood. Black symbolizes the earth, from which life and the harvest sprout, red is the color of joy, yellow the color of summer (that is, the color of the sun), and blue is the comor of sorrow and of passing.

My mother was my stronghold, my everything. I was 20 when the war broke out. My brothers were 12 and 17. We all could have left the country but my father was obliged to stay. My mother wouldn’t leave his side. She packed up for me and my two brothers to save our lives and sent us to stay with friends in the Western part of Hungary. Days pass and we cannot communicate and when they finally call, I want to be with them. We fear for their lives each day.

I met Zsóka at the Buda Castle last weekend. She was one of the wonderful ladies representing matyó heritage at the Festival of Folk Arts. A beautiful part of matyo art is the hairbands (mirtusz) that women wear and Zsoka creates spectacular ones. Could I help buying one? No, I couldn’t❤️
