History
The Patriarchate of Jerusalem is one of the ancient patriarchates of the Greek Orthodox Church: its establishment dates back to 33 A.D. and its first bishop was Saint James the Just. The Patriarchate had a School of Theology (established in 1855); it also operated the first printing house in the area of Palestine (1853).
