    Ferenc József 1890-es debreceni látogatása után – amikor a király megjegyezte, hogy az előtte tisztelgő papok között nincs görög-katolikus! – a város törvényhatósági közgyűlése kimondta, hogy hajlandó segélyezni a görög katolikus egyházat. Húsz évvel a királyi látogatás után (!) 1910. május 22-én szentelték fel a a bizánci építészet hagyományaira utaló, eklektikus stílusú, görög kereszt alaprajzú templomot, amelyet Bobula János budapesti építész tervezett. Ferenc pápa 2015-ben megalapította a Magyarországon élő görögkatolikusok számára a metropóliát, s a görögkatolikus érsekség székhelyének Debrecen városát jelölte ki.

    In the beginning, the Greek Catholics of Debrecen belonged to the parish of Hajdúdorog. During his visit to Debrecen, József Ferenc said, "what a big mistake it is that the Greek Catholic Church is not yet organized in Debrecen". After the visit, the organization of an independent parish began. Münkacsi Bishop Gyula Firczák made the branch church in Debrecen an independent parish. The construction of the independent church began in 1907, and the church was completed in 3 years. The next major milestone in the life of the parish was in 1912, when István Miklóssy, the first appointed chief pastor of the diocese of Hajdúdorog, chose Debrecen as his seat. However, the city could not enjoy the "closeness" of the bishop for long, because on February 23, 1914, the bishopric received a mail package that exploded while being opened. The bishop selected as the target of the assassination was not present at the scene, he remained unharmed, but he moved his seat to Nyíregyháza. In 2015, Pope Francis founded the independent metropolis with its seat in Debrecen.

    It looks like a traditional Greek church. It's a bit like the iconostasis is not finished. It is interesting that it is not only covered with Greek icon type paintings. And of course, the bestial attack on February 23, 1914 is also commemorated on the walls of the cathedral.

    I was here for a wedding. The location is excellent for that. The priest had known the groom's family for a long time. There were also very direct and personal parts in the speech.

    Beautiful Church, I've been coming here since I was a child, I was baptized here, I received my first communion, I got married here. Priests always give a beautiful Mass and preach well.

    A beautiful creation, the meeting of the Byzantine and Art Nouveau styles. It's a pity that these days, let alone a church, nothing is being planned. It is an interesting decoration for the country and Debrecen. But over time, it seems that its rebuilt environment has become unworthy.

    Beautiful Greek Catholic church dating from 1910 with murals painted in the 50s. Built in Byzantine style with neo-Romanesque elements it's stunning to look at from any angle and has a striking interior as well. Would have been great to attend a sermon here to see how it is brought to life but visiting just for the sake of the architecture is definitely worth it.

    Születésemtől fogva és családi hagyományai szerint görögkatolikus vagyok és az is maradok , életem , családom ebben nőt fel ezert érzéseim szorosan kapcsolódnak az igaz őszinte emberi érzésekhez kapcsolatokhoz ! A hazugságok és hazug emberek a megrontói az igaz jó életnek !
