Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew presided over the Vespers Service for the Feast of Saint Gregory the Theologian, Archbishop of Constantinople.
The relics of Saint Gregory were placed at the Patriarchal Cathedral so that the faithful can venerate them, which, along with the relics of Saint Ioannis Chrysostomos, were returned to the Church of Constantinople by Rome on November 27, 2004, as reported by fanarion.blogspot.com.
