The Eparchy of Bačka covers Bačka, the north-western part of Vojvodina. Its seat is in Novi Sad, where the Cathedral Church of the Holy Great Martyr George and the Bishop's Palace — one of the most recognisable buildings in the city — are located.
The Eparchy of Bačka preserves the rich heritage of the Serbian people in Hungary: monasteries, church communities and archives from the time of the Metropolitanate of Karlovci.
Blazon
Two oval shields side by side: in the dexter a bird with wings displayed above the walls of a town with a gate and towers, in the sinister a church with two towers above town buildings.
Above the shields a winged angel's head (cherub) and a closed crown with a cross; the shields are supported by two angels, and behind them are a cross and a bishop's staff.
In the coloured reconstruction the fields are blue: in the dexter a black raven with wings displayed on a silver fortress with red roofs, in the sinister a silver church with two towers with red roofs on a green hillock; between the shields, on a gold field, the silver dove of the Holy Spirit, and both shields are embraced by a violet bordure beneath a crown. The supporters are angels with trumpets and books.
