Drizipara

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Drizipara (Greek: Δριζιπάρα), also known as Druzipara, Drousipara, Drusipara;[1] now Büyükkarıştıran/Büyükkarıştıran'[2] in Lüleburgaz district, was a city and a residential episcopal see in the Roman province of Europa in the civil diocese of Thrace. It is now a titular see of the Catholic Church.[3]

History of the town

The Greeks called the city Drizipera, Drousipara/Drusipara, Drizeparos and Drixiparos.[4][5][6] By the 9th century, it was called Mesene.[7]

The city was situated, as mentioned by

Adrianople to Byzantium
. It contained a
church and destroyed the relics of the martyr.[9] in looting their silver
casing.

Sultan Murad I conquered the city in the 14th century. The city was described in 1432 Bertrandon of Broquière and in 1453 the wife of Grand Duke Loukas Notaras died there,[10]

In the 16th century Sultan

Bajazet II rebuilt a new city, Büyük Karistiran
, a few kilometers to the west, which quickly supplanted Drizipara which dwindled.

The site is today occupied by a village called Misinli close to the town of Büyükkarıştıran.[11]

Church history

Drusipara, a titular see in

Adrianople to Byzantium.[12]
It may be that it was founded in the 4th century as the centre of a
Heraclia[13] but in the eighth and ninth centuries became an independent archbishopric, which was only suppressed during the Bulgarian invasions.[14]

The

Andronicus III
(1328–1341). There is no mention of it in a later list, probably of the 16th century, possibly because of having fallen victim to the Turkish conquests. In all these Notitiae Episcopatuum the name of the see appears as Mesene (Misini in modern Greek pronunciation).

The names of only two of the diocesan bishops are recorded: Theodore, who attended the Second Council of Constantinople in 553AD, and Cyriacus, who attended the Second Council of Nicaea in 787.

From the late 14th century the title has been given to

Latin bishops, who initially were not considered to have archiepiscopal rank, but now are. The see was referred to at first as Missine. This became Mysine in the 16th century. The name Drusipara came into use in the 18th century,[15]
but was changed to Drizipara in 1930.
