Kunsziget maintains a tradition that is rare within Hungary. The custom pays respects to the memory of the women who hurried to Jesus’ grave. On the dawn of Easter Sunday the “Search for Christ” begins at the stone cross located in front of the church.

Saint Lawrence Roman Catholic Parish Church
The Art Nouveau style building is one of the village’s architectural values. The parish house was built in the 1910s to replace the previous one that had stood here. However, certain former parish buildings were kept such as the outdoor summer kitchen, these are a rarity in the region. A barn with a “hat roof” was also built in the middle of the yard.
Millennial Memorial Park
There is a memorial park located in the center of the village on Kossuth Square. The double cross was erected in the year of the millennium and the Trianon Memorial Column in 2010. The wooden grave marker (kopjafa) was a gift from the municipality of Nyárádgálfalva.
Saint Anthony's Chapel
Apart from the rightfully famous Search for Christ, among the sacral traditions of Kunsziget, the town’s celebration of votum on the Day of Saint Anthony of Padua is also significant. The townsfolk set off from the church in procession to Saint Anthony Chapel where a mass is held to honor the holiday. The tradition is upheld even today, its roots date back to the 19th century, but its origins may be 100 years older as the 18th century was the age of votums. We only have written records dating back to the 1850s.
