Holy Synod
In several of the
autocephalous
Eastern Orthodox
churches, the patriarch or head bishop is elected by a group of bishops called the
Holy Synod
.
The
Holy Synod
was a congregation of
Orthodox church
leaders in
Russia
. It was established by
Peter the Great
in January
1721
to replace the
Patriarchate of Moscow
. It was abolished following the
Bolshevik Revolution
of
1917
and replaced with a restored (though powerless) patriarchate. The Holy Synod is also a ruling body of the
Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church
.
