A group of twenty-five Greek-American pilgrims visited the Patriarchate, accompanied by their Priests Fr Ioannis and Fr Mihail from the Holy Archdiocese of America on Monday morning, May 9, 2022.
The group was received by the Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos and Hagiotaphite Fathers.
The Patriarch spoke to them about Jerusalem, being the spiritual capital of the whole world and about the Holy Sepulchre of Jesus Christ being “blessed”, because it received the immaculate Body of our Lord and God Jesus Christ and it is a source of power from the Resurrected Christ.
Patriarch’s words concluded by offering Priest’s crosses to the two Priests and souvenirs/blessings from Jerusalem to the pilgrims.
Both Priests thanked Patriarch Theophilos for His words and hospitality.
