History

The Hungarian Greek Catholic Church, a particular church sui iuris of the Catholic Church, includes the Eparchy of Miskolc (Latin: Dioecesis Miskolcensis) among its sees. Its liturgy follows the Byzantine Rite celebrated in the Hungarian language. The eparchy is suffragan to the Archeparchy of Hajdúdorog, a sui iuris metropolis whose province covers all of Hungary, and it depends on the Roman Congregation for the Oriental Churches. Its cathedral church, the Cathedral of the Assumption ("Nagyboldogasszony püspöki székesegyház"), stands in the city of Miskolc in north-eastern Hungary.
