The Research Group ‘Greek Catholic Heritage’ at the St Athanasius Greek Catholic Theological Institute of Nyíregyháza has implemented four academic projects since 2009. All of these have been aimed at investigating the history, organisational and liturgical development and art of the Greek Catholic Churches of the former Kingdom of Hungary. In the period to 2018, research findings were summarised in three monographs, six collections of papers, a document registry and seventeen source publications. In 2018, the Research Group won the grant of the ‘Lendület’ (Momentum) Programme of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences for a five-year research project. The title of the project of the research group thus named ‘Greek Catholic Heritage under the Joint Programme ‘Lendület’ (Momentum) of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and St Athanasius Greek Catholic Theological Institute’ is ‘The Hungarian Greek Catholics’ search for identity, self-organising efforts and development of ecclesiastical organisation from the publication of the first Hungarian liturgical texts (second half of the 18th century) to the death of Miklós Dudás, Bishop of Hajdúdorog (1972)’. The outcome of the research project concluding at the end of 2023 was six monographs, two collections of papers, six source publications, a premium exhibition catalogue (published in English and Hungarian in two separate volumes), as well as a range of journal articles and conference talks. The present English publication contains a selection of the research findings: In Part I, Tamás Véghseő, founder and leading researcher of the Research Group, describes the history of Hungarian Greek Catholics from the earliest times to 1920, while, in Part II, Szilveszter Terdik, a founding member of the Research Group, considers questions relevant to the sacred art of Hungary’s Greek Catholics.
