Honouring the emperor without the emperor
The symbolic role of Franz Joseph in the system of ideas about imperial power is described in the text about the emperor's visit to Lviv. However, the figure of the emperor was informationally present in the city even in his physical absence. It was quite evident, in particular, during various celebrations, jubilees or anniversaries.![post picture](https://city-as-stage.lvivcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/dilo-1883-nr9-10-s1_.jpg)

The enthronements of Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic archbishops
Lviv was the center of three metropolitanates: Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic and Armenian Catholic.

Reburial of Markiyan Shashkevych in Lviv (1893)
The reburial of Markiyan Shashkevych in Lviv on November 1, 1893 is considered one of the most significant "national manifestations" of the Ruthenians in the city. Apart from the mass character of the event, the figure of the poet himself as a "people's awakener" is important, by analogy with national poets of other nations.![post picture](https://city-as-stage.lvivcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/10905900_header.jpg)
