D., at the time, when it began expanding in Eastern Europe. In the period of the Great transmigration of peoples, in the 3rd – 7th centuries AD it was already wide spread. There were found a lot of different Christian items on graveyards, in towns and cities of different archaeological cultures of this period. In 922 Islam became an official religion of Volzhskaya Bulgaria (Volga Bulgaria), which was situated on the south of modern Tatarstan, but there were Christians too. According to the chronicles, in 990 the Kiev Prince Vladimir sent to Bulgars a missionary called Mark Macedonian, four Bulgarian princes with their families were baptized. One of the archaeological monuments of Bulgar town was called “Greek chamber” – probably it was an orthodox church. After the Mongol invasion, territory of Tatarstan became one of the parts of the Golden Horde. Since 1261 in the Golden Horde there were the Sarsk and Podolsk diocese of Russian Orthodox Church. The Bishop’s residence was situated in the capital of the Golden Horde, Sarai city. Temples of Volgskaya Bulgaria were subjected to him too. For the first time Kazan was described in the chronicle in 1276, when Khan Mengu-Timur gave “the Bulgarian and Kazan land” to his son-in-low, Prince Feodor (canonized as Feodor, wonderworker of Yaroslavl).
