Patriarch of Serbia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of The Patriarchs of Serbia, the person known officially as Patriarch of all Serbia, Archbishop of Peć, Metropolitan of Belgrade and Karlovci. Currently, this is Patriarch Pavle.

The episcopal see was founded in 1219 by St. Sava under the autocephaly of the Patriarchs of Constantinople. In 1346 it unilaterally declared itself as a patriarchate in Pec. This was only recognized by Constantinople in 1379.

After the Ottoman conquest of Serbia in 1459, the Patriarchate gradually lost its importance. At times the church was forced by the Porte to install Greeks to the office. From 1766-1920 the patriarchate was abolished and all ecclesiastical jurisdiction was placed under the Greek Orthodox Church. A metropolitan see was maintained in Belgrade from 1766 afterwards.

Due to the war between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy League, a large number of Serbs migrated to Habsburg Monarchy in 1690. This caused the establishment of a Metropolitanate in Karlowitz (Sremski Karlovci). Later on the see was elevated to a patriarchate in 1848 as a reward to Serbs who supported the Habsburgs during the 1848/1849 revolution.

In 1920 after Yugoslavia was formed both episcopal seats in Belgrade and Karlowitz were united to re-established a united Serbian patriarchate.
