Timeline of Orthodoxy in Greece (1. The history of Greece traditionally encompasses the study of the Greek people, the areas they ruled historically, as well as the territory now composing the modern state of Greece. Christianity was first brought to the geographical area corresponding to modern Greece by the Apostle Paul, although the church's apostolicity also rests upon St. Andrew who preached the gospel in Greece and suffered martyrdom in Patras, Titus, Paul's companion who preached the gospel in Crete where he became bishop, Philip who, according to the tradition, visited and preached in Athens, Luke the Evangelist who was martyred in Thebes, Lazarus of Bethany, Bishop of Kition in Cyprus, and John the Theologian who was exiled on the island of Patmos where he received the Revelation recorded in the last book of the New Testament. In addition, the Theotokos is regarded as having visited the Holy Mountain in 4. AD according to tradition. Towards the end of the 2nd century the early apostolic bishoprics had developed into metropolitan sees in the most important cities. Such were the sees of Thessaloniki, Corinth, Nicopolis, Philippi and Athens. Illyricum was assigned to the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Constantinople by the emperor in 7.

As an integral part of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the church remained under its jurisdiction until Greek independence. Bishops, and 1. 1 Patriarchs knew the Ottoman sword. Therefore, it was natural that in all Greek Constitutions the Orthodox Church was accorded the status of the prevailing religion. It cherishes its place as the cradle of the primitive church and the Greek clergy are still present in the historic places of Istanbul and Jerusalem, and Cyprus. According to this view, the Church, in the role of a latter- day Noah's Ark, saved the Greek nation in the centuries of the Turkish and Western 'deluge' following the fall of the eastern Roman empire in 1.
The Orthodox Church, by protecting the true faith against both Muslim and Latin temporal princes in the centuries of foreign rule, preserved Greek identity and kept the Greek nation from being assimilated by the nations of its foreign rulers. According to the same view, the Orthodox Church welcomed the Greek War of Independence in 1. Greek insurgents. Indeed, many Orthodox prelates assumed a leading role in insurgent Greece and played an important part not only in ecclesiastical but also in political and military matters. Following Independence, a Latin prince and his Western advisers severed the links that had united the Church of Greece with the Ecumenical Patriarchate and placed the Church under the authority of his temporal power.

The arrival of the Theotokos at the Mountain is mentioned by codices L' 6. I' 3. 1 of the Library of Great Lavra Monastery.^. The Act subsequently has been incorporated into several pieces of Greek legislation (Laws 3. Article 3, paragraph 1 of the current Greek Constitution), thereby recognizing the ecclesiastical agreement between the two sides. It was precisely on the coincidence of the Feasts of the Annunciation and Pascha on 2. March 1. 82. 1 (Old Style), that Greece challenged the Turkish Yoke. Kyriopascha has also manifested its miraculous Grace to our own generation by its most recent occurrence in 1.

Around 6,0. 00 women and children were taken to be sold in Methoni and in the slave markets of Constantinople and Alexandria. The loss to Turkish- Egyptian invaders amounted to 5,0. In contrast to Agathangelos, his successor Konstantios I sent his good wishes and his blessings to the Greek state in August 1. Calvinist in. Kapodistrias reassured the patriarch about Greece's devotion to Orthodoxy and to the Great Church. This in turn gave Konstantios the opportunity to insist on the complete reestablishment of administrative unity between the church in the territories of the Greek state and the Great Church of Constantinople. For this purpose the Lower Church was extended to the right and to the left by proper porticos in order to enlarge it and above it was started the construction of the brilliant Church which we see to- day, after the plans of Eustratios Kallonaris, an architect and artist from Smyrna. The whole work of construction the hagiography and the finishing of the Church, with the surrounding grounds and extensions was terminated by 1.

Ecumenical Patriarch and subjected ecclesiastical affairs to civil control. For the same reason, they likewise resisted the foreign, mostly Protestant, missionaries who established schools throughout Greece.^. It was soon decided to abolish all save eighty- six of these, and to employ the revenues of the properties attached to the monasteries in educating the clergy and paying the salaries of the bishops. The properties were confiscated accordingly, but the clergy have received exceedingly little benefit therefrom. This was very upsetting to the Church hierarchy. Russia was self- considered as stalwart defender of Orthodoxy but Orthodox believers were found in all three parties. Once he rid himself of his Bavarian advisers, Otto allowed the statutory dissolution of the monasteries to lapse.^The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens was founded on 3 May 1. This project was revised by the Greek architect Dimitri Zezos, and when the Cathedral was finished in May, 1. He fiercely denounced the autocephaly and the abolition of ancient metropolitan sees, which left the people shepherd- less. He condemned the dissolution of monasteries, foreign missionaries, and the non- Orthodox schools they had established and the exclusion of the sacred Scriptures (i. Septuagint) from the schools. Behind these acts Papoulakos saw a clear aim: 'It is their purpose to ruin our religion.' And he lists the guilty: the English who controlled the state with their loan; the foreigners, the 'Luthero- Calvinists,' Bavarians and missionaries who were swamping Greece; Kairis, 'who had lit the match; ' Pharmakidis, 'who had poured out the poison; ' the Synod which had meekly accepted the foreigners' schemes and which Papoulakos calls 'polluted, diabolical, sealed with Armannsperg's seal.' . The newly established Church of Greece was not only made independent of the Ecumenical Patriarchate; by the same token it was also made subservient to the state. Although granted a privileged position in relation to other religious establishments, it was essentially turned into a state entity under the supervision of a ministry; and although the initial Bavarian settlement of the church question was later relaxed to allow it a measure of freedom within the secular state, the head of the Church always had to understand that the Minister of Education and Creeds was his superior. The blow to the authority and prestige of the Ecumenical Patriarchate was severe, but in the light of the requirements of the sovereign nation- state it was unavoidable. Some formal preconditions were honored, but none of the essential ones.
