Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes Field of Liberty and Memorial of the Seven Greek Catholic Martyr Bishops a place of pilgrimage
The public field where Pope Francis celebrated the Divine Liturgy and beatified seven Romanian Greek Catholic bishop-martyrs on 2 June 2019. It is a visitable outdoor place of Catholic memory, not the tomb of all seven Blesseds.
Stand where Pope Francis named seven persecuted bishops Blessed, then carry their story into the cathedral and Sighet's prison cells.
