A stauropegic monastery, also rendered stavropegic, stauropegial, or stavropegial (from (ギリシア語:σταυρός) ''stauros'' "cross" and πήγνυμι ''pegnumi'' "to affirm"), is an Eastern Orthodox or Eastern Catholic Christian monastery subordinated directly to a Patriarch or Synod, rather than to a local Bishop. The name comes from the Byzantine tradition of summoning the Patriarch to place a cross at the foundation of such monasteries. Stauropegic monasteries are distinguished from the greatest monasteries, called lavras, and from the patriarchal metochions, where the patriarch serves as a parish priest. The metochions of the Patriarch of Moscow are the Vysokopetrovsky Monastery and Nikolo-Perervinsky Monastery. ==Stauropegic monasteries in Bulgarian Orthodoxy== The Bulgarian Orthodox Church has 5 stauropegic monasteries:() * Rila Monastery * Bachkovo Monastery * Troyan Monastery * Pomorie Monastery〔http://www.pomoriemonastery.org〕 * Transfiguration Monastery The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Sofia Seminary are also directly subordinate to the Bulgarian Patriarch and Synod. 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「Stauropegic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
