Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem is the oldest representation of the Russian Orthodox Church abroad
Since 1847, the Russian Orthodox Church has been represented on behalf of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem on the Holy Land
In order to meet the requirements of the time, when the number of pilgrims within the canonical territory of the Jerusalem Patriarchate grew with every year, it was indicated to maintain a permanent representation of the Russian Church in Jerusalem – the city of Christian pilgrimage streams
Summary
The consequence of the creation of the Mission was the formation of numerous churches and sending permanent representatives of the Russian Church to the sacred place to perform of divine services, which were charged with praying for a long-suffering homeland. “The Mission was meant to solve issues related to the security of passageways and passage through populated areas and territories where local residents were stealing, robbing and cheating, aiming to profit from confiding Russian people. In addition to these tasks, the Mission was to help to strengthen fraternal relations with the coreligionist Jerusalem (Greek) patriarchy” [7]. The prerevolutionary phase of the Mission’s activities has been extensively studied and presented in numerous monographs, and in dissertations that touch upon many aspects of the Mission’s existence and the service in the Ottoman Empire
