How pagans killed Bishop Gellért
Saint Gellért on of the first bishops was killed 1047 as from the hill of Kelenföld – which is the present-day Gellért Hill – he was rolled down to the River Danube on a cart by the pagans. When he reached the bottom of the hill (the riverbank), he was still alive. According to the longer version of his legend, he was beaten to death with a stone but the Danube could not wash his blood off the stone from seven years. Therefore it was kept and guarded as a holy relic.
