Patriarch Theodore II of Alexandria and All Africa will celebrate his name day in Cairo this year, on February 17, at the Holy Monastery of St. George in old Cairo.
Every year, the Primate of Alexandria celebrates his name day on the feast of Great-martyr Theodore the Tyro, one of the two Saints named Theodore, who in our Church are honored as warrior saints and great martyrs. The other warrior saint of the same name is Saint Theodore Stratelates.
