history

Christianization from Moravia?

Volodymyr-Wolynskyj may have been Christianized by Moravia or Bohemia as early as the 9th or 10th century . This is indicated by the archaeological find of a rotunda in the city center and a possible affiliation to the diocese of Prague 973.

Kievan Rus

In 981 Volhynia was conquered for the Kievan Rus . The first bishop for Volhynia was named for 992. The eparchy was one of the oldest of the Kievan Rus and was subordinate to the metropolis of Kiev . This belonged to the Patriarchate of Constantinople .

In 1147 an eparchy Halitsch was dissolved. The Assumption Cathedral in Volodymyr was consecrated in 1160 . In 1219 the Peremyschl eparchy , 1223 Uhorsk (1240 Cholm) and 1235 Lutsk were detached.

Kingdom of Poland

Since 1317 the eparchy has belonged to the Orthodox Metropolis of Galicia , since 1371 to the Metropolis of Lithuania , and since 1399 again to the Metropolis of Kiev.

Bishop Hypatius has been one of the most active promoters of a union between the Orthodox Church in the Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania and the Roman Catholic Church since 1593. In 1596, after the Union of Brest, the eparchy joined the new uniate church and formed the Volodymyr-Brest eparchy .

In 1620 an Orthodox bishop was named for Vladimir again, but without any real powers.

Ukraine

In 1992, the Volodymyr-Wolynskyj and Kovel eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate was formed.
