Greek Catholic Clergy and Faithful Gather in Darkness at Prešov Cathedral for Major Liturgical Celebration

Dozens of Greek Catholic priests and numerous faithful gathered at Prešov Cathedral in darkness to celebrate the most important feast of the liturgical year. The Greek Catholic Church, also known as the Eastern Catholic Church, follows Byzantine liturgical traditions while maintaining communion with Rome. In Slovakia, Greek Catholics represent a significant minority, particularly concentrated in the eastern regions around Prešov and Košice. The cathedral service appears to have taken place during a period without electric lighting, though the specific liturgical celebration being observed was not specified in available reports.
