The '''[[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] [[Metropolitan bishop|Metropolitan]] [[Diocese|Archdiocese]] of Mary Most Holy in [[Astana]]''' ({{lang-la|Archidioecesis Sanctae Mariae in Astanansis}}) is a Latin [[archdiocese]] of the [[Roman Catholic Church]] in [[Kazakhstan]].

Its [[cathedral]] episcopal see is the Marian Cathedral of [[Our Mother of Perpetual Help]], in the Kazakh national capital [[Astana]]. Founding and only Apostolic administrator [[Tomasz Peta]] was appointed the first Archbishop of Mary Most Holy in Astana by John Paul II on May 17, 1999.

== History ==
[[Pope John Paul II]] erected it as the '''[[Apostolic Administration]] of Astana''' on July 7, 1999, on territory split off from the then [[Apostolic Administration of Kazakhstan]] (which lost more territories and became the diocese of Karaganda and soon after, unusually, daughter diocese Astana's suffragan), and visited it in September 2001.

The same pope promoted it to the '''Archdiocese of Mary Most Holy in Astana''' on May 17, 2003.

== Province ==
Its [[ecclesiastical province]] comprises the Metropolitan's own archdiocese and the following [[suffragan]] jurisdictions :
* [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Karaganda]] (its parent diocese)
* [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Santissima Trinità in Almaty]].
* [[Apostolic Administration of Atyrau]] (a pre-diocesan type of jurisdiction which normally remains exempt, i.e. directly dependent on the Holy See)

== Ordinaries of Astana ==
(all [[Roman Rite]], so far European Latin missionaries)

;''Apostolic Administrator of Astana
* [[Tomasz Peta]] (1999.07.07 – 2003.05.17), [[Titular Bishop]] of [[Benda (Albania)]] (2001.02.15 – 2003.05.17)

The '''Borohoro''' Mountains ({{zh|s=博罗科努山|p=Bóluōkēnǔ shān|w=P'o-lo-k'o-nu shan}}) is one of the major ranges of the [[Tian Shan]] mountain system. It is almost entirely located within in China's [[Xinjiang|Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region]], with only a few westernmost peaks being in [[Kazakhstan]].

The Borohoro Range runs in the general west-north-west to east-south-east direction. At its eastern end, southwest of [[Ürümqi]], it joins the main range of the Tian Shan; at the western end, near the [[China–Kazakhstan border]], it joins the [[Dzungarian Alatau]].

The Borohoro Range separates the [[Dzungarian Basin]] in the north from the [[Ili River]] Basin in the south. Streams flowing from the northern slope of the Borohoro flow toward the [[Aibi Lake]] or the [[Manas Lake]]; those rising on the southern slope flow toward the Ili River, which flows into Kazakhstan's [[Lake Balkhash]].

The border between Xinjiang's [[Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture]] and [[Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture]] runs along the Borohoro Range.
