	abstract = {In post-Trianon Hungarian irredentist imagery, the use of the 
		Christian symbolism of crucifixion is hardly exceptional and 
		is common to self-pitying nationalist imagery in much of the 
		Christian world. However, Hungary's unique historical 
		development left irredentist image creators unable to use the 
		crucifixion of a male figure. Nevertheless, although 
		restricted to gender-neutral or female representations, 
		Hungarian nationalists were compelled to evoke the Passion of 
		Christ, while also stressing the Mary-like nature of the 
		country. As the paper shows, they created a powerful, if 
		blasphemous set of images placing the motherland in the role 
		of Christ. This continues to be evoked in Hungarian 
		nationalist discourse today.},
