„Позицијата на византискиот император во Црквата и нејзините импликации врз Охридската архиепископија“

Abstract

The paper is a contribution to the issue of the rights and position of the emperor in Byzantium, which place him in a special position in the Church. As the “Anointed by the Lord”, he was considered the most important church member among the laity, as evidenced by the Nomocanon’s as well as some patristic texts. The presentation also contains an overview of the imperial active involvement in the life of the Church, as well as some of the imperial decisions that mark the church history through the centuries, including the decisive moments in the history of the Ohrid Archbishopric.
