The 2021 International Eucharistic Congress was the 52nd edition of the International Eucharistic Congress (IEC) which took place in 2021 in Budapest, Hungary.[1] The one-week event held regularly since 1881 (every four years in recent times) celebrates the Real presence of Christ in the Eucharist according to the teaching of the Catholic Church.
This is the second time that Hungary hosted the International Eucharistic Congress, with the first one also held in Budapest in 1938.[2] Cardinal Péter Erdő, Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest saw a great significance for the Catholic Church in Hungary in hosting the event, which is an introduction towards the world.
