Fotografii cu episcopul greco-catolic Iuliu Hossu
Photographs of Bishop Iuliu Hossu

Unchiul meu Victor Pop a fost preot greco-catolic si secretar II al episcopului greco-catolic (mai tarziu numit Cardinal in Pectore) Iuliu Hossu. A fost de asemenea pasionat de fotografie luandu-si aparatul cu el in vizitele ecumenice sau sarbatorile religioase cand il insotea pe episcop. Am descoperit cateva din fotografiile lui facute la manastirea de la Nicula cand in fiecare an episcopul Hossu celebra acolo Sfanta Liturghie de Sfanta Marie (15 August). Alte fotografii sunt facute la diverse vizite ale scolilor catolice din eparhia greco-catolica de Cluj-Gherla.      My uncle Victor Pop was a romanian catholic of byzantine rite priest (greek-catholic) and second secretary of Bishop Iuliu Hossu in Cluj, Romania. He had also a passion for photography often carrying his camera with him when he accompanied Bishop Hossu on religious visits and ecumenical trips. I discovered some of his old photographs taken on the occasion of Saint Marry celebration at Nicula and also from the visits of catholic schools in the Eparchy of Cluj-Gherla.
