Georgian Orthodox Church is marking the day of restoration of Autocephaly. Georgian Church obtained autocephaly from the Antiochus in 457 and Russian empire abolished it in 1811. Since then Russian synod was ruling Georgian Christian Church by its exarches since then. Georgian Church returned its Autocephaly on 25 March 1917 and its independence was recognized by every Orthodox Church in the world, however, only verbally. In the result of the activities of Ilia II, Georgia`s Catholicos Patriarch, Autocephaly was officially announced and recognized by all other orthodox churches.
