Orthodox Bishops of Prague
The first orthodox mission in Czech lands were Saints Cyril and Methodius at the time of East–West Schism, but it has its centre in Moravia. The current Czech and Slovak Orthodox Church comes from the Czech Orthodox clubs and partly has arisen from the early Czechoslovak Church which has separated from the Roman Catholics in 1920s. Consequently, the Czechoslovak Church trended to Protestantism and an Orthodox branch split off. The Prague Archeparchy embodies the whole Bohemia.
