Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is currently in Athens for the funeral of the late Archbishop of Athens and All Greece, Christodoulos, which will take place tomorrow at the Athens Cathedral with all state honours.
Patriarch Bartholomew - who is heading a delegation from the Constantinople-based Patriarchate - will take part in the funereal procession from the church to the Athens 1st Cemetery. He will be accompanied by the Archbishop of America, Dimitrios, as well as local metropolitans. The Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa, Theodore II, is also in the Greek capital to attend the funeral and take part in the funereal procession. In a related development, Pope Benedict XVI mourned the death of Greece's Orthodox leader and praised him yesterday for having «opened a new era» in relations with the Vatican that helped forge greater Christian unity. He said he hoped the archbishop's successor would continue to build on Christodoulos' «pastoral achievements.» Set as favorite Email This Σχόλια
