The Holy Synod of Milan, also known as the Milan Synod, is an autonomous Eastern Orthodox Church in Milan, Italy.
It began as the Diocese for Western Europe of the Old Calendarist Greek Orthodox Church which (after receiving a hierarchy with the aid of bishops of the ROCOR) was united under Archbishops Akakios of Diavleia (Greek Old Calendarists) and Auxentios.
The Synod's jurisdiction in Spain is legally recognized by the European Union.
Famous quotes containing the word holy:
“The word by seers or sibyls told,
In groves of oak, or fanes of gold,
Still floats upon the morning wind,
Still whispers to the willing mind.
One accent of the Holy Ghost
The heedless world hath never lost.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
