The Greek Catholic Church (Serbian Cyrillic: Црква Светих апостола Петра и Павла, romanized: Crkva Svetih apostola Petra i Pavla) is a Greek Catholic church in Novi Sad, Serbia. Built in 1847, it is located in Stari Grad at the corner of Jovan Subotić and Svetozar Miletić streets. The church is consecrated to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and built in the Pannonian Baroque style.[2] Its congregation consists mostly of Rusyns.[3]
It is also known as the Uniat Church.
The icons are believed to have been painted by either Arsa Teodorović or Ivan Ivanić,[3] while the iconostasis was carved by the Marković brothers.[4] The church has 156 seats and can accommodate up to 300 people.[1] The liturgy is celebrated in Church Slavonic, while the sermons are delivered in Rusyn and Ukrainian.[4]
