The Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia is a self-governing body of the Eastern Orthodox Church that territorially covers the countries of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
After Czechoslovakia separated in 1993, church activities continued in each new country as separate legal entities: in the Czech Republic as the Orthodox Church in the Czech Lands and in the Slovak Republic as the Orthodox Church in Slovakia, with canonical unity maintained as the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia. The church is now organized into four eparchies divided into two administrative centers: the Metropolitan Council for the Czech Republic resident in Prague, and the Metropolitan Council for the Slovak Republic in Prešov. Under the Council of the Czech Lands (Prague) are the eparchies of Prague and Olomouc- Brno, while the eparchies of Prešov and Michalovce are under the Council of Slovakia (Prešov).
In the Czech Republic, there are 82 parishes. In Slovakia, there are 90 parishes: 69 in the eparchy of Prešov and 21 in the eparchy of Michalovce. The Orthodox Theological Faculty of the University of Prešov functions as a seminary for future priests of combined Church, with a satellite campus in Olomouc.
The Monastery of Saint Procopius of Sazava is located in Most, and the Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos in Vilémov.
The current primate is Rastislav of Prešov [cs] (born Ondrej Gont), Metropolitan of the Czech Lands and Slovakia since 2014.
