Jurisdiction of Serbian Patriarchate in the 16th and 17th centuries

The Eparchy of Buda (Serbian: Будимска епархија or Budimska eparhija) is a diocese or eparchy of the Serbian Orthodox Church, having jurisdiction over the territory of Hungary. The seat of the eparchy is in Szentendre (Serbian: Сентандреја or Sentandreja) near Budapest.

Name

[edit]

The term Buda (Serbian: Будим or Budim) in the name of the eparchy refers to the name of the former city of Buda, which merged with the city of Pest to form the modern city of Budapest in 1873. That change did not affect the eparchy and the original name has been kept to the present day.[1]

History

[edit]
See also: Serbs in Hungary and Eastern Orthodoxy in Hungary

During the middle ages, authorities of the Kingdom of Hungary had an ambivalent attitude towards the presence of Eastern Orthodox Christians in various regions of the realm,[2] that was depending mainly on current relations with the Byzantine Empire, and medieval Serbia. By the end of the 15th century, Serbian presence in southern regions of the realm was gradually increased by continuous migrations that were caused by Ottoman invasion of Serbian lands.[3]

In the 16th century, following the Ottoman conquest of Hungary, Serbian Orthodox Eparchy of Buda was established, under the jurisdiction of the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć.[4] By the end of the 17th century, those regions of were liberated from the Ottoman rule and incorporated into the Habsburg monarchy. Since 1708, the eparchy belonged to the Serbian Orthodox Metropolitanate of Krušedol (Karlovci).[5] After 1918, the eparchy continued to function within political frames of the new Hungarian state, belonging in terms of ecclesiastical jurisdiction (since 1920) to the reunited Serbian Orthodox Church.[6]
