The Holy Apostle Andrew: The Apostle St. Andrew was the first to
preach the Gospel of Christ in Constantinople, apointing one of the 70, St.
Stachys, as her bishop. He went throughout the Black sea region and on to
Russia, where he planted a cross at Kiev; however, the full scale conversion of
Russia would come much later.
Elevation from Metropolitan to Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia: In
1589 Ieremias [Jeremiah] II, Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople (1572 –
1579, 1580 – 1584, 1586 – 1595), with the other ancient patriarchates, granted
the Russian Church autocephaly and raised Iov [Job], Metropolitan of Moscow to
the Patriarchal dignity. This created the Patriarchate of Moscow and all the
Russias.
Vacancy of the Patriarchate: In 1700 Tsar Peter the Great took advantage
of the death of Patriarch Adrian to put an end to the position of Patriarch in
the the Russian Church. He – with the consent of the other Patriarchs – refused
to allow the election of a new Russian Patriarch. Metropolitan Stephen was made
Guardian of the Patriarchate in 1701. In 1721 the Russian Church altered its
hierarchal structure so that the conciliar authority of the Holy Synod of
Bishops replaced the former system.
Patriarch Tikhon: The Holy Synod, on October 19, 1897,
consecrated Fr. Tikhon Bishop of Lublin, a vicariate of the Kholm – Warsaw
diocese, in the Trinity cathedral of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra in St.
Petersburg. His consecrators were Metropolitan Palladius (Rayev) of St.
Petersburg, Archbishop Arsenius (Bryantsev) of Kazan, Archbishop Anthony
(Vadkovsky) of Finland, Bishop John (Kratirov) of Narva and Bishop Gurias
(Burtasovsky) of Samara. On September 14, 1898, he was made Bishop of the Aleutian
Islands and Alaska. In 1900 he was appointed Bishop of North America, becoming
archbishop on May 19, 1905. On January 25, 1907, he was appointed Archbishop of
Yaroslavl and Rostov, and on December 22, 1913 he was transfered to the diocese
of Vilnius. Since Metropolitan Macarius of Moscow had been among those removed
from his see by the revolutionary Provisional government in 1917, it was
necessary to elect a new metropolitan. On June 19, 1917, a congress of the
clergy and laity of the diocese of Moscow met and on June23 / July 6 (according
to another source, June 21 / July 4) elected Tikhon as Archbishop of Moscow and
Kolomna (he became metropolitan on August 14/27). On August 15, 1917, the Local
Council of the Russian Church opened in the cathedral of Christ the Saviour in
Moscow attended by 564 delegates. Metropolitan Tikhon was elected president of
the Council by 407 votes to 33. The first major question before the Council was
the restoration of the patriarchate, which had been abolished by Peter the
Great in 1700. 200 delegates participated in the Section on the Higher Church
Administration that was to decide this question, and for a long time the
opponents of the patriarchate, led by the future renovationist Professor
Titlinov, waged a bitter struggle against its restoration. However, the
Bolshevik coup on October 25 changed the mood of the Council, and on October
31, at the suggestion of Count Paul Mikhailovich Grabbe, nominations of
candidates took place.
