Orthodoxy in the Caucasus region

Spread and development of orthodoxy in the Caucasus region has a long history. The dawn of Christianity in the region is connected with the apostolic activity of St.Andrew The Apostle, one of the disciples of Christ sermonizing in the local Greek colonies. This was the beginning of the spread of orthodoxy among local tribes: the Alans, the Circassians, the Abazgi and others. A great influence on the spread of Christianity was exerted by the missionary activities pursued by the Byzantine emperor Justinian as during his reign the Greek clergy spread the religion amon the Circassians. The succeeding rulers of the Eastern Roman Empire as well as Georgian and Armenian kings promoted the development of orthodoxy in the region. Further, the Byzantine influence was replaced by missionary activities of the Russian Orthodox Church represented by such men of faith as the monk Nikon, Hegumen of Radonezh, bishop Nikolai, Theodosius of the Caucasus, and others.
