The Cathedral Church of the Holy Great-Martyr George (Serbian: Саборни храм Светог великомученика Георгија, Saborni hram Svetog velikomučenika Georgija) is the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Bačka, located in Novi Sad, northern Serbia.
[1] An older church in the baroque style began building in 1720, and extended in 1734, during the time of Empress Maria Theresia, Patriarch Arsenije IV Jovanović and Archpriest Visarion Pavlović.
The planning of the present-day church began in 1851, and it was built between 1860 and 1880 on the ruins of the old one, with further renovations and completion by 1905 under design by architect Milan Michal Harminc, during the office of Mitrofan Šević.
The church interior includes an iconostasis with 33 icons, historical pictures above both choirs (coronation of Stefan the First-Crowned and Saint Sava pacifying his brothers Stefan and Vukan), as well as two large throne icons of Saint Sava and Virgin Mary, painted by renowned academic Paja Jovanović, which are considered to be his best ecclesiastical works.
The Theophany Cross (Serbian: Богојављенски крст, Bogojavljenski krst), also known as the Cross of the Holy vow (Serbian: Заветни крст, Zavetni krst), located in the church's courtyard is the oldest surviving monuments in Novi Sad, dating back to the 18th century.
