	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Greek Church
		All the superior clergy are Greek, and, in accordance with a rule made in the early part of the eighteenth century, the clergy of Syrian birth and Arabic speech are eligible for the lower clerical positions only, although the whole membership of this Church is Syrian.
		The superior hierarchy of a Greek Church at the period we are treating of, viz., from the fourth to the tenth century, was composed of a patriarch, a catholicos, the greater metropolitans, the autocephalous metropolitans, the archbishops and the bishops.
		Generally, a Greek was chosen for the office so that the medieval Russian Church was but an extension of the Byzantine Church, sharing the liturgy, the dogmatic teaching, and the ecclesiastical antipathies of the latter.

	ANDREI RUBLEV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Many of Rublev's surviving works were created in or near Moscow, and there is evidence to suggest that he received his training in this general area (although not exactly within the city) under the guidance of Prokhor of Gorodets.
		By 1405 he was collaborating with Theophanes the Greek, the foremost icon painter in Russia at the time, in the decoration of the Annunciation Cathedral in Moscow.
		Perhaps Rublev contributed the most to icon painting, however, when he "broke away from the prevailing severity of form, color, and expression" that characterized the developing Russian style of icon painting, especially the work of Theophanes the Greek.

		It's a medieval epic (the version not censored runs 186 minutes), based on the life of the Russian monk and icon painter Andrei Rublev (Anatoli Solonitzine), who was born in either 1360 or 1370 and died in 1430.
		His fame rests on the fragments of fresco paintings in the Cathedral at Vladimir, the icon of the Holy Trinity monastery, and an icon of Christ in Glory, painted in Zvenigorod around 1410.
		In protest, Rublev takes a 'vow of silence.' His intellectual curiosity about Greek art is sated when he abandons his monk travelling companions to work with the famous painter Theophanes the Greek, causing the jealous ire of Kyril for being abandoned.
