Mourning in White in Csököly Csököly is located near Zselics,
in Inner-Somogy. This is where the poet Csokonay Vitéz Mihály wrote
his Dorottya, a comic epic. The village has a unique folk tradition:
mourning in white. At funerals the coffin is followed by women dressed
up in white, not black. The two churches are also worth visiting.
More beautiful churches mellowed by age can be found, also, in the
neighboring villages. You are kindly invited to the strawberry picking. |
