The Metropolis of Kastoria (Template:Lang-el),[1] is one of the metropolises of the New Lands in Greece that are within the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople but de facto are administered for practical reasons as part of the Church of Greece under an agreement between the churches of Athens and Constantinople.[note 1]

The town of Castoria or Kastoria in northern Greece is or historically has been an episcopal see of various Christian churches.

History

At first a suffragan of Thebes,[3] the bishopric was, at least by the reign of Basil II in the early 11th century, the first suffragan see of Achrida. Lequien mentions only three bishops, all of the period after the East–West Schism: Joasaph in 1564, Hierotheus, who went to Rome about 1650, and Dionysius Mantoucas;[4] but that list can easily be extended.[5]

Some ten Latin bishops of Castoria are known from the 13th to the 15th centuries,[5][6] and Castoria is now listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.[3]

In the early 20th century the town was the seat of a Bulgarian bishopric with 2,224 families, 32 priests, and 22 churches.[5]

Today, for the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Church of Greece the see is the Metropolis of Kastoria and Exarchate for Upper Macedonia, in the so-called "New Lands" of Greece.[7][8]

Notes

  1. ^ "Codified in the 1928 Patriarchal and Synodical Act, the "New Lands" were entrusted to the temporary stewardship of the Church of Greece, provided that the Church respected the terms of the Act. The Act subsequently has been incorporated into several pieces of Greek legislation (Laws 3615/1928, 5438/1932, 599/1977, and Article 3, paragraph 1 of the current Greek Constitution), thereby recognizing the ecclesiastical agreement between the two sides."[2]
