Ecclesiastical Law is defined as the set of legal rules that regulate the legal relationships of the Church. The subject of examination of Ecclesiastical Law traditionally consists of the framework of constitutional and legislative provisions that relate to religious freedom and the relations between the State and the Church.
The Church of Greece consists of two parts, the Autocephalous Church of Greece and the Metropolises of the Ecumenical Throne in the areas of the so-called «New Lands,» which continue to be under the Ecumenical Patriarchate, but have been temporarily assigned for administration to the Autocephalous Church of Greece. However, there are also other ecclesiastical jurisdictions in Greece, such as the semi-autonomous Church of Crete, the self-governing area of Mount Athos, and the Dodecanese, which, even after its incorporation into Greece, continues to be ecclesiastically under the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
