Everything about Ilarion Makariopolski totally explained
Ilarion Makariopolski, born
Stoyan Stoyanov Mihaylovski (Стоян Стоянов Михайловски) (1812–1875) was a 19th-century
Bulgarian cleric and one of the leaders of the struggle for an autonomous Bulgarian church.
Born in
Elena in 1812 in a prominent Bulgarian family, Mihaylovski received a substantial schooling for the period, initially in his native town and later at the
Greek school in
Arbanasi. He became a monk in the
Hilandar Monastery on
Mount Athos in 1832 and continued his education at the school of noted Greek enlightener
Theophilos Kairis on the island of
Andros, later studying for two years at a famous high school in
Athens. A close friend of
Georgi Rakovski, Ilarion Makariopolski took an active part in the Macedonian revolutionary society. Since 1844 he guided the Bulgarian church struggle from
Constantinople together with
Neofit Bozveli, and was exiled to Mount Athos between 1845 and 1850.
On
3 April 1860, during the so-called
Easter Action or Bulgarian Easter Makariopolski intentionally didn't mention the name of the
Patriarch of Constantinople, which, according to the
canon law, is an act of throwing off his authority. A decision of the Patriarchate sent Makariopolski back to Mount Athos into exile in 1861–1864 together with the bishops that supported him,
Avksentiy Veleshki (Auxentius of
Veles) and
Paisiy Plovdivski (Paisius of
Plovdiv).
After the autonomous
national church of the Bulgarians, the
Bulgarian Exarchate, was ultimately founded in 1870, Makariopolski was a member of the Provisional Mixed Exarchic Council and of the first
Synod. Since 1872 he was Metropolitan of
Tarnovo, and died in Constantinople on
4 June 1875. He was buried in the yard of the
Bulgarian St Stephen Church in the city.
Ilarion Ridge in
Breznik Heights on
Greenwich Island in the
South Shetland Islands,
Antarctica is named for Ilarion Makariopolski.
