Peter of Moscow
Russian bishop and saint / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with 20th-century vicar of the diocese of Moscow, Metropolitan Peter of Krutitsy.
Peter of Moscow (Russian: Пётр; c. 1260 – 20 December 1326) was the Russian metropolitan who moved his see from Vladimir to Moscow in 1325. Later he was proclaimed a patron saint of Moscow. In spite of the move, the office remained officially entitled "Metropolitan of Kiev and all Rus'" until the autocephalous election of Jonah of Moscow in 1448.[1]
