Tens of thousands of believers attended an open-air mass led by Pope Francis at the Sumuleu Ciuc shrine on June 1. The pilgrimage site is part of the Romanian city of Miercurea Ciuc, which is mainly inhabited by ethnic Hungarians. A large portion of this minority identify as Roman Catholics in a country that is predominantly Orthodox Christian.
