Great Song to Celebrate the Inherent Worth and Diginity of Every Person

Katy Perry - Firework (Official Music Video) by ChaOko_01


Unitarian Universalists among other things affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person.  This song and video by Katy Perry is a great expression of that same principle.  Do you know the country and city where this video was filmed?  


They filmed it in Hungary in the city of Budapest.    Budapest  includes two historic eastern European cities.  The city of Pest was on  the eastern bank of the Danube River and on the west bank was the city of Buda.  John Sigismund (John II Sigismund Zapolya)prince of Transylvania was born in the city of Buda.  This is the ruler who made the Unitarian church the state church while also ensuring religious freedom for the various sects and confessions of Christian belief.

John would have spent some of his childhood in and around Buda Castle and returned there in his adulthood.  The video ends with people dancing in the courtyard  of the castle.  What might King John Sigismund have thought about the message of this song.  It might have ministered to him toward the end of his life when he was usurped and imprisoned by his own family in large part for his religious policies.
