Is this legit? I'm totally confused by what the site says - is this a mission branch that was sponsored by St Patriarch Tikhon of Moscow?


The Archdiocese is the legal successor and direct continuation of the “Provisional Administration of Russian Parishes in Western Europe” founded by Saint Patriarch Tikhon of Moscow and entrusted to Archbishop Evlogy (by decrees of 8 April 1921, nos 423 & 424) with the agreement of Saint Metropolitan Benjamin of Petrograd who till then had jurisdiction over the religious institutions of the Russian Orthodox Church in western Europe (letter dated 21 June 1921).

This portion makes it sound like that - but after that part - it gets really confusing...

Good :) Because the only icon I have found of my soon-to-be-patron saint is painted by an icon studio from this archdiocese :) I'm waiting to hear the response from the icon writer to see if he would be willing to make a print for me. I hope he is - because I don't have the money at this time to commission a hand-painted icon...

Cool :) I can't understand the site you posted at all though - not exactly a French scholar :) but I'll Altavista Babel translate it. Though the format looks pretty similar to the UK version I posted.

Definitely legit, one of my good friends is a nun in the Exarchate. Bp Gabriel is the head of the whole Exarchate and hopefully one day I get to meet him too.
There is an English section of the website too

Not much but their audience isn't much English either, and the vicariate in GB has their own site.
