Why pilgrims come

A sacred place worth the journey.

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.

01

A Byzantine Catholic cathedral

Let icon, chant, and Divine Liturgy disclose Catholic diversity.

02

A small living eparchy

See the local community rather than treating the church as an ethnic artifact.
