Η ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΙΣ ΚΟΛΩΝΕΙΑΣ

THE CITY OF KOLONEIA (NOW SEBIN-KARAHISAR) AND THE NEARBY NIKOPOLIS (NOW PURK) WERE BOTH FOUNDED IN 66 BC BY POMPEIUS IN PONTUS. FROM THE 4TH CENTURY AD THEY WERE BOTH BISHOPRICS AND AFTER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE "THEMA" OF KOLONEIA IN THE 9TH CENTURY, KOLONEIA WAS ERECTED TO THE RANK OF ARCHBISHOPRIC AND THEN TO THAT OF METROPOLIS. IN THE POST-BYZANTINE PERIOD BOTH CITIES WERE PUT UNDER THEDIRECT JURISDICTION OF NEOCAESAREA, BUT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 19TH CENTURY THEY FORMED THE SEPARATE BISHOPRIC OF NIKOPOLIS, WHICH IN 1889 WAS RENAMED TO KOLONEIA AND ERECTED TO THE RANK OF METROPOLIS. THE SEE WAS VACANT FROM 1924 TO 1967. THE ORTHODOX POPULATION OF THE DISTRICT SUFFERED FROM THE HERETICAL ARIANSIN THE 4TH CENTURY, FROM THE PAULICIANS IN THE 7TH TO 9TH CENTURIES AND LATER FROM STRUGGLES BETWEEN SUNNITE AND SIITE MOSLEMS. THE EFFORTS OF THE HIERARCHS FOR THE SAVING OF THE FLOCK AND FOR THE EDUCATION HAVE BEEN IMMENSE.
