Traveling Exhibition of the History of the Pauline Order
The Hungarian title – meaning Life is nice in a Pauline manner! – is a kind and playful version of a Hungarian phrase, differing from it in one letter (Párosan / Pálosan szép az élet [Life is nice together / in a Pauline manner]).This phrase implies that people have more opportunities for achieving happiness in a marriage, or as a couple (“together”). At the same time, the Hungarian phrase also carries within the trust in future. The concept of our exhibition, related to the title, displays in a hidden way, in the “texture” of the narration, what it is like to be a Pauline, and a monk in general. Being a monastic priest is a complete life, not a way towards aloofness, but towards self-fulfilment – a modern way of life leading to happiness both in the everyday and the theological sense of the word.
