A priest defied the dictator, parishioners formed a human chain — within days Romania was free

Tökés Reformed Church

The church where the 1989 revolution began. When Father László Tökés publicly condemned Ceaușescu, the Securitate tried to evict him. Parishioners formed a human chain. Within days, the protest spread across Romania. A small plaque marks the spot where modern Romania was born.
