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.
