The Metropolis of Patras ((ギリシア語:Ιερά Μητρόπολις Πατρών)) is a metropolitan see of the Church of Greece in Achaea, Greece. ==History== The see of Patras was founded, according to tradition, by Saint Andrew, who was crucified there. His relics are still kept in the metropolitan cathedral of Saint Andrew of Patras. Until 733, Patras was subordinated to the See of Corinth, and under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Rome. In that year, Emperor Leo III the Isaurian transferred all the sees of the Illyricum to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Patras was later raised to an archbishopric, which it remained until 806, when it became a metropolitan see. It had four suffragans;〔Gelzer, "Ungedruckte ... Texte der Notitiæ episcopatuum", 557.〕 then five about 940;〔Gelzer, "Georgii Cyprii Descriptio orbis Romani", 77.〕 after 1453 it had only two, which successively disappeared.〔Gelzer, "Georgii Cyprii Descriptio orbis Romani", 634.〕 A celebrated stylite lived there in the tenth century, to whom St. Luke the Younger went to be trained.〔''Patrologia Graeca'' CXI, 451.〕 From 1180 until 1833, the see was officially termed "Metropolis of Old Patras" (Μητρόπολις Παλαιών Πατρών), to distinguish it from "New Patras", modern Ypati. Among the most prominent metropolitans of this period were the future Patriarchs of Constantinople Timothy II and Gabriel IV, as well as Germanos III, who played an important role in the Greek War of Independence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metropolis of Patras」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
