Kunágota
Kunágota is a village in Békés County, in the Southern Great Plain region of south-east Hungary. On St David's Day 1 March 2021 a heartfelt gesture was inspired by the people of Kunágota, branded Hungary's "Welshest" village, to honour the patron saint of Wales and the Welsh people by illuminating a nearby Castle with the national flag of Wales, which has a striking Dragon. To show respect they sang traditional Welsh hymns such as ‘Cwm Rhondda’, and composed a new piece of music called St David's Mystery.

Overview
Overview
The piece was written by French Hungarian composer George Gondard. The town had grown very fond of Wales ever since Elizabeth, a Kunágota-born classical singer, returned to her roots from Cardiff and introduced Welsh hymns to the community a few years ago In the 19th century, a small Jewish community lived in the village, many of whose members were murdered in the Holocaust
