The '''Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Lviv''', a [[Byzantine Rite]] [[Archeparchy]], is an active metropolitan see in [[Ukraine]], encompassing the city of [[Lviv]] and surrounding districts in [[Lviv Oblast]]. Established as an eparchy in 1539 and elevated to an archeparchy in 1807, it is led by Archbishop Ihor Vozniak as of 2005. As the head of the [[Ecclesiastical Province of Lviv]], it oversees three suffragan eparchies and is renowned for its role in preserving Ukrainian Greek Catholic traditions during Soviet suppression. Notably, its [[St. George's Cathedral, Lviv|St. George’s Cathedral]] in [[Lviv]], a Baroque-Rococo masterpiece, served as a focal point for the underground Church from 1946 to 1989, symbolizing resilience and faith. | |||
