This category brings together articles about Orthodox bishops connected to the Nizhny Novgorod diocese and region. Episcopal service shaped the church life of Nizhny Novgorod for centuries: bishops oversaw the construction of churches, administered diocesan affairs, and took part in the public life of the region. Among the figures presented here are Ieremia (Bishop of Nizhny Novgorod), who headed the Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas see in the mid-19th century, and Metropolitan George, the current head of the Nizhny Novgorod Metropolia. The category also includes an article on Patriarch Kirill, whose activity extends to the whole Russian Orthodox Church, including the Nizhny Novgorod region.
