What does "Evgraf" mean? At first glance, I thought it meant "Count". But I see 2 of them in Bp Kovalevsky's former name.

I have to catch up here, very interesting thread. I am only appearing at the tail end for the moment til I read carefully the rest.

I didn't know that, Jean-Serge, that the - French Orthodox Church, was it ? Or a previous group Kovalevsky headed ? -
that was on the Western Calendar - even for Pascha when part of Rocor ? That's very unusual
But that WOULD explain earlier remarks in this forum on other threads about Rocor's Bishops on the New Calendar.
I couldnt think of any Bishops, myself. Forgot about this chapter in Rocor's history.

I think Evgraf is a proper name. His name is Evgraf, son of Evgraf, Kovalevsky. It's actually a name I've only heard of from Dr. Zhivago.
