2021The 100th Anniv. of the Ordination of the First Slovak Bishops - First Day Cover

When we discuss the ordination of the first Slovak bishops we talk about those bishops who were ordained as early as the establishment of the common state of Czech and Slovak people – the first Czechoslovak Republic. Historical records show that more Catholic bishops came from what is the modern Slovakia, who proudly considered themselves to be Slovaks; however, at that time, Slovakia as such did not formally exist, it was part of Hungary.
