Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary a place of pilgrimage
The cathedral of the Macedonian Catholic Eparchy of the Assumption in Strumica-Skopje, the country's Byzantine Catholic jurisdiction. It is fully Catholic and in communion with Rome; 'Greek Catholic' identifies its Byzantine liturgical tradition, not Greek nationality or Orthodox custody.
Encounter North Macedonia's Byzantine Catholic Church on its own liturgical terms and place it beside—not beneath—the Latin cathedral in Skopje.
