Greek Catholic archcathedral, i.e. the cathedral of St. John the Baptist, since 1991. The building was built in the 17th century for the Jesuits (St. Ignatius of Loyola). When Emperor Józef abolished the Jesuit order, it was a warehouse. <br />
Here we have a beautiful iconostasis. <br />
Each iconostasis is arranged in a strict order. The lowest row is made up of gates and gates. From the left - the most important local saint, and on the right - the saint who is the patron of the church. This row must include Christ and the Mother of God. There are tsarist gates inside, which only open during the ritual. There are also deacon gates, south and north. <br />
Above the Deesis icons - asking for grace. <br />
The third row consists of icons showing the most important holidays of the year and the last supper. <br />
Even higher the prophets and fathers of the church, and at the very top the patriarchs of the Old Testament. <br />
Above this "set" there is always a picture of Christ's crucifixion - but this is in the next pucle.
