Summary/Abstract: The publication is devoted to an analysis of the theme of saints and feasts in the Menologia of the five Uniate liturgical Tetraevangelia published in the Cyrillic alphabet in Pochaiv in 1759, 1768, 1771, and twice in 1780. The comparative analysis of the Menologia in all 110 editions has indicated that the first Uniate liturgical Tetraevangelion issued in 1759 in Pochaiv was prepared on the basis of the 1746 Kiev Gospel edition. For the liturgical needs of the Greek Catholic Church, a total of 113 commemorations were removed from its Menologion, including: 118 saints, six feasts dedicated to icons of the Mother of God, and three commemorations of Church events. The annual fixed calendar in the Uniate Tetraevangelia was supplemented only by the commemoration of Josaphat Kuntsevich (16 September).
