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.
