| 释义 |
Theophanes III of Jerusalem was the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem from 1608 to 1644. The early life of Patriarch Theophanes is largely unknown. As the successor to Sophronius IV, Theophanes continued Sophronius' defense of Orthodox rights to the Christian shrines in the Holy Lands. In 1611, with a decree from the Ottoman sultan, Theophanes was able to fend off the Armenians from taking over the celebration of the Holy Light. Due to careless financial management by Serbian monks who lived at the Monastery of Saint Sabas, Theophanes was forced to sell holy heirlooms of value to avert surrendering the monastery and its metochion of the Archangel to the Latins and Armenians. During 1631 to 1634, the patriarch was successful in obtaining a number of firmans from Sultan Murad IV that continued those of Mehmed II and Selim I, thus fending off demands of the French ambassador in Constantinople. In April 1619, Patriarch Theophanes traveled to Moscow to participate in the enthronement of Metropolitan Philaret as Patriarch of Moscow on June 1, 1619.[1] In August 1620, when he was returning from his visit to Moscow, Patriarch Theophanes consecrated Job Boretsky as Metropolitan of Kiev and other bishops, during a stop in Kiev. These consecrations restored the Orthodox hierarchy in the area that was occupied by Uniate bishops after the Union of Brest in 1596 when Metropolitan Michael Rohoza turned to support the union. Patriarch Theophanes reposed in 1644. Reference1. ^Georges Florovsky, Ways of Russian Theology, Notes to Chapter III Sources
