From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eparchy of Osječko polje and Baranja (
Serbian Cyrillic : Епархија осјечкопољска и барањска or Епархија осечкопољска и барањска;
Croatian : Osječkopoljska i baranjska eparhija ) is an
eparchy (diocese) of the
Serbian Orthodox Church encompassing easternmost areas of
Croatia , with seat in
Dalj .
Since the death of bishop
Lukijan Vladulov in spring of 2017, the eparchy is administered by bishop
Irinej Bulović of Bačka. The eparchy has three
vicarages (in
Osijek ,
Vukovar and
Baranja ), with a total of 39 priests and two deacons.

History
Osječko polje (lit. Osijek field) is an old name created in the first years of the 18th century, the area that included the entire area around the city of
Osijek and the region between the lower course of the
Drava and
Danube river and practically whole flow of the river
Vuka .
[1]
Because Osijek field lies on the border of
Syrmia ,
Baranja and
Slavonia , it was added, sometimes to one and sometimes to the other of three neighboring Eparchies, while sometimes it had its own bishop.
[1]
In 1710, the Church Parliament in Monastery
Krušedol elected Bishop Sofronije as Bishop for all
Serbs under
Habsburg authority, and Eparchy of Osječko polje provided care to the newly elected Bishop Nicanor Melentijević.
[1]
It remained an independent diocese up to 1733, when it was abolished and its
Hungarian part was attached to the
Eparchy of Budapest , while its
Slavonian part to the
Syrmian archdiocese . Patriarch Arsenije IV Jovanović Šakabenta handed Eparchy of Osječko polje in 1746 to his Bishop Jovan Georgijević. The residence of Bishop Jovan was in Osijek, where Eparchy then had two houses.
[1]
Archbishops Synod after the election of a new Metropolitan in 1748 joined this Eparchy again to the
Eparchy of Slavonia -Pakrac.
[1]
From 1758 the Eparchy definitely came into the composition of
Syrmian diocese till the year 1991. Holy Assembly of the
Serbian Orthodox Church in 1991 renewed Osječko polje eparchy and joined the whole Baranja to it, so the eparchy got its present name: Osječko Polje and Baranja Eparchy.
