Summary/Abstract: Knowing the realities of the everyday life of the Uniate priests in the 18th century is necessary for further exploration of the sites with the inhabitants of the Eastern ceremony, customs, economy, spirituality. The article is based on several years of research above the eastern rite by Latin sources in today‘s Eastern Slovakia and speaks of the following: the priest‘s house, vegetable gardens, economic security, the physical condition and equipment of the churches. It is possible to make a model or standard picture of the classic uniate parish in the east of Slovakia in the first half of the 18th century. The knowledge of this human background is important for understanding the power of the spirit and the motives of various writings with sacral and secular themes that have been preserved in the Greek-Catholic parish and episcopal archives and libraries.
