In this meeting, Patriarch Theophilos presented to Metropolitan Kyril the pastoral, pilgrimage, and pacifying work carried out by the Patriarchate amid the ongoing and raging war in Gaza, where our Patriarchate in the Monastery of Saint Porphyrios grants asylum to 400 members of its Community under the Most Reverend Archbishop Alexios of Tiberias and Hieromonk Sila.
