Greek Catholic church in Máriapócs, Minor basilica in Máriapócs, Hungary
The Greek Catholic church features decorative baroque elements throughout its structure, including detailed frescoes, carved altars, and high vaulted ceilings.
Built in response to reported miraculous events in 1696, the church became a significant pilgrimage destination after a shepherd girl claimed to see the Virgin Mary.
The basilica represents the traditions of Greek Catholic worship in Hungary, combining Eastern Christian liturgical practices with recognition from the Roman Catholic Church.
Located at coordinates 47.878067, 22.024053, the church welcomes visitors who arrive to experience religious ceremonies and view the architectural details.
During the 1708 plague epidemic, local records indicate the church became a center for prayer gatherings that coincided with an unexpected decline in disease cases.
