Why pilgrims come

Discover the sacred objects and Catholic memory preserved here

The cathedral of the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Cluj-Gherla preserves relics of Blessed Cardinal Iuliu Hossu, one of the seven bishops beatified as martyrs in 2019. The cathedral holds authenticated relics for veneration; it is not presented as his complete tomb.

Meet Blessed Iuliu Hossu through a living Byzantine Catholic cathedral, his relics, and the eparchy's museum project dedicated to his witness.
