History
The earliest evidence of ecclesiastical territories in the present territory of the Metropolis of Thessaliotis and Fanariofersala appeared after the middle of the fourth or early fifth century when a Bishop Perrevio of the diocese of Farsala, that was subordinate to the Metropolis of Larissa, took part in the Council of Ephesus in 431. In the ninth century, a Bishop Stephen of Farsala attended a meeting with Patriarch Photius in 879.
Through the following centuries the diocese went through several phases with various titles, including Farsala, under the jurisdiction of the Metropolis of Larissa or the Ecumenical Patriarchate. [1]
An episcopate emerged in the area of the present metropolis during the period of 1530-1540 with the title of Fanari and Neochorio. In 1600-1601, the see was made an archdiocese with Seraphim of Bezoula its first archbishop. Archbishop Seraphim later would be remembered as a saint. During the eighteenth century (1767) Fanari was joined with the Metropolis of Fersala under the title "Fanariofersala".[1]
