The Ecumenical Patriarch will be in Trabzon on August 15, where he will perform the Divine Liturgy for the Dormition of the Virgin Mary again this year, after obtaining the permission provided by the Prefecture of Trabzon.
At the end of the Divine Liturgy, He will perform a Trisagion for the repose of the soul of the late Metropolitan Paul of Drama, “who many times in the past honored with his participation the feast of the sacred palladium of the Pontians everywhere.”
