The Russian Orthodox Church (Orthodox Catholic Church of Russia) is the body of Christians who are united under the [[Patriarch of Moscow]], who in turn is in communion with the other patriarchs and primates of the [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]. In 863-869, Cyril and Methodius, with the blessing of the popes, translated parts of the [[Bible]] into Old Slavonic language for the first time, paving the way for the Christianization of the Slavs. In 988, [[Prince Vladimir I]] of Kiev officially adopted Byzantine Rite Christianity - the religion of the Eastern Roman Empire - as the state religion of Rus' (see Baptism of Kiev). This date is often considered the official birthday of the Russian Orthodox Church. Today, the Russian is undergoing a resurgence of interest after years of suppression of communist governments.
