Vicariate (Eastern Orthodoxy)
A Vicariate (Russian: Викариа́тство, romanized: Vikariat·stvo) is an administrative sub-unit of an eparchy within the Eastern Orthodox Church in which the diocese is under the jurisdiction of a vicar bishop. The vicariate is under jurisdiction of the ruling bishop. In modern day, vicariates are either semi-independent or serve as an auxiliary bishop to their direct bishop. They are also used to serve diaspora populations.[1][2]
