The Russian Orthodox Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem (Russian: Русская духовная миссия в Иерусалиме, lit. 'Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem') was founded in the 19th century to serve as a representation of the Russian Orthodox Church to the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem and to oversee the facilities caring for the thousands of pilgrims then flocking to the Holy Land from the Russian Empire.
