Cathedral of the Transfiguration, Lublin
Cathedral of the Transfiguration is an Orthodox cathedral in Lublin, and the main church of the Diocese of Lublin and Chełm of the Polish Orthodox Church. It also serves as the seat of the Lublin Parish of the Transfiguration (in the Lublin Deanery). The cathedral is located on Ruska Street. The currently existing building was constructed between 1607 and 1633 on the site of two older churches. It was dedicated in 1633 by Metropolitan Petro Mohyla of Kyiv. During construction and for several decades afterwards, the church's ownership was fiercely contested between the Orthodox and the Uniates, who finally took permanent control of the building in 1695. The Lublin parish returned to the Orthodox church in 1875, following the abolition of the Uniate Eparchy of Chełm by the tsarist administration and military. The cathedral is particularly revered for housing copies of the Jerusalem and Lublin icons of the Mother of God. The temple was registered as a historical monument on 21 January 1960 and 21 February 1967 under number A/227.
