Abstract
In 2011, the Eparchy of Križevci celebrated its 400th anniversary. Conceived in Marča near Čazma in extremely complex historical and ecclesiastical circumstances, the Eparchy has painstakingly lived out her birth and childhood, exposed to strong winds of challenge and denial, both from the outside and from the inside. The first part of this article briefly outlines the difficulties faced during its establishment at the beginning of the 17th century, the growth in the mid-17th century and the survival at the end of the 17th century. On this basis, the second part of the article shows a broader ecclesial consciousness of unity based on Florentine criteria at the beginning of the 17th century and a narrower one based on the Tridentine legal and ecclesiastical norms at the end of the 17th century.
