While in Budapest for the Easter weekend, we were able to attend Mass, which was an extra-special treat since we tend to avoid church services here. By the time we reached St. Stephen's Basilica it was absolutely packed, but having to stand the whole time didn't diminish its grandeur in the least. Surrounded by frescoes and marble and candelabras, with the scent of incense and candle wax permeating the cavernous space, we listened to a full choir sing the entire Messiah between the half-Hungarian, half-Latin led Mass - what an incredible and moving experience.
