Church of Saint Petka, Majs

The Church of Saint Petka (; )) is an Eastern Orthodox church located in Majs, Hungary. It is under jurisdiction of the Eparchy of Buda of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

It was rebuilt in 1781 and is the second Serbian Orthodox church established in the village.

It is built in a typical style of provincial Baroque. A distinctive feature of the church is the decorative metal finial on its tower, which includes two levels of ornamentation: the lower level is designed as a pseudo-lantern, while the upper level tapers conically in four steps, culminating in a base topped with an orb and a cross.

The current iconostasis, created in 1806, was painted by Jakov Nedić, a provincial iconographer, and his son Stojan. Nedić, a resident of the village of Bobota, is known for his work on iconostases in Batasek, Borjad, and Majš. The church underwent restoration in 1896.

Since 1984, it has been under historical monument protection.
