在这一时期所建立的巴勒斯坦教会的结构，至今仍保留在今天巴勒斯坦教会的结构之中。巴勒斯坦教会在5世纪成为一个独立的机构（自主教会，autocephaly），不再是拜占庭帝国的附属，这是巴勒斯坦政治体制发展过程中的一个重要阶段。此外，拜占庭统治下的行省巴勒斯坦（大巴勒斯坦）在宗教、文化与地理上的记忆，一直由巴勒斯坦的地方教会所延续。如今，这种"三位一体"的巴勒斯坦所共有的记忆，乃至实际存在的制度延续性，体现在东正教耶路撒冷牧首区，即希腊东正教耶路撒冷牧首区之中（阿拉伯文：

The structure of the Palestine Church created during this period is still preserved in the structure of the Palestine Church today. The Church in Palestine became an independent body in the 5th century (autocephaly), no longer an appendage of the empire of Byzantium, an important stage in developing the polity of Palestine. Also, the religio-cultural‒geographic memories of Provincia Palaestina (greater Palestine) under the Byzantines have been kept alive by the local churches of Palestine. Today the shared memories and indeed actual institutional continuities of the ‘Three in One’ Palestine is represented in the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, or the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem (Arabic:

耶路撒冷的拜占庭东正教堂（Kanisat Al-Rum al-Ortodoks fi-Quds）。它最初是埃利亚·卡皮托利纳（Aelia Capitolina）的宗主教区，许多基督徒将其视为全体基督教的"母"教堂。如今，它对巴勒斯坦、以色列和约旦以阿拉伯语为主的东正教基督徒行使教会管辖权。巴勒斯坦东正教宗主教区的总部设在耶路撒冷的圣墓教堂。该教堂可追溯至4世纪的巴勒斯坦。"圣墓教堂"这一名称源自拉丁语 Ecclesia Sancti Sepulchri。以色列的称呼 Knesiyat ha-Kever 同样源自始于拉丁十字军的欧洲传统。然而，巴勒斯坦基督徒和穆斯林所用的阿拉伯语名称"复活教堂"（Kaneesat al-Qiyamah）则直接源自拜占庭时期巴勒斯坦的东正教希腊语地名：Anastasis 教堂（Ναός της Αναστάσεως），以耶稣的"复活"命名。这进一步说明，巴勒斯坦的地名及当地的地名记忆，保存了4世纪巴勒斯坦的一些社会与历史记忆，以及晚期古代"三个巴勒斯坦"的主要宗教传统。

Kanisat Al-Rum al-Ortodoks fi-Quds), the Byzantine Orthodox Church of al-Quds. Originally the Patriarchate of Aelia Capitolina, it is regarded by many Christians as the ‘mother’ church of all Christendom. Today it exercises ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the predominantly Arabic-speaking Orthodox Christians of Palestine, Israel and Jordan. The headquarters of the Palestine Orthodox Patriarchate is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The church dates back to 4th century Palestine. The name Church of the Holy Sepulchre is derived from the Latin Ecclesia Sancti Sepulchri. The Israeli name, Knesiyat ha-Kever, is derived from the same European tradition which began with the Latin Crusaders. Yet the Arabic name used by Palestinian Christians and Muslims, the Church of the Resurrection, Kaneesat al-Qiyamah, is directly derived from the Orthodox Greek toponym of Byzantine Palestine: Church of the Anastasis (Ναός της Αναστάσεως), named after the ‘resurrection’ of Jesus. This is another way of showing how Palestinian toponyms and local toponymic memory managed to preserve some of the social and historic memories of 4th century Palestine and the dominant religious traditions of the ‘Three Palestines’ of Late Antiquity.

此外,巴勒斯坦、以色列和约旦东正教徒的宗教权威,直接源自该教会的自治地位(autocephaly)、独立性,以及对古代晚期“三个巴勒斯坦”所拥有的管辖权。

Moreover, the religious authority over the Orthodox Christians of Palestine, Israel and Jordan is derived directly from its autocephaly, independence and jurisdiction over the ‘Three Palestines’ of Late Antiquity.

这种对历史上巴勒斯坦的社会记忆，也体现在教会以拜占庭礼仪举行礼拜这一事实上。该礼仪的原始语言为希腊语（Koine Greek，通俗希腊语），在拜占庭时期，它是“三个巴勒斯坦”的官方语言。

This social memory of historic Palestine is also reflected by the fact that the Church celebrates its liturgy in the Byzantine Rite, whose original language is Koine Greek, the official language of the ‘Three Palestines’ during the Byzantine period.

今天，耶路撒冷东正教大主教西奥菲洛斯三世的头衔被表述为“圣城耶路撒冷及整个巴勒斯坦的大主教”；由此可见，今天的“整个巴勒斯坦”是拜占庭时代“三个巴勒斯坦”的现代重新表述。西奥菲洛斯三世于2005年当选，其在耶路撒冷的职位可追溯至451年的卡尔西顿公会议，该职位历史上对巴勒斯坦行省（巴勒斯坦第一省、巴勒斯坦第二省和巴勒斯坦救济省）拥有教会管辖权。耶路撒冷（埃利亚·卡皮托利纳）大主教也是圣地／巴勒斯坦／以色列和约旦东正教基督徒的宗教领袖，这些基督徒主要是巴勒斯坦和约旦的阿拉伯人。此次选举于2005年9月24日获得约旦认可，约旦是显然需要认可的“三个政府”之一。两年后，以色列政府于2007年12月16日正式承认了他的当选。

Also, today the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos III of Jerusalem is represented as ‘Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem and all Palestine’; ‘all Palestine’ of today, then, is a modern reformulation of the ‘Three Palestines’ of the Byzantine era. Elected in 2005, Theophilos III could trace his office in Jerusalem to the Council of Chalcedon in 451, an office with historical ecclesiastical jurisdiction over Provincia Palaestina (Palaestina Prima, Palaestina Secunda and Palaestina Salutaris). The Patriarch of Aelia Capitolina is also the religious leader of Eastern Orthodox Christians in the Holy Land/Palestine/Israel and Jordan, who are predominantly Palestinian and Jordanian Arabs. The election was endorsed by Jordan on 24 September 2005, as one of the ‘three governments’ whose endorsement is apparently required. Two years later, the Israeli government officially recognised his election on 16 December 2007.
