In an announcement, the autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine thanked the Archbishop of Cyprus for the commemoration of Metropolitan Epifaniy of Kyiv and announced the news to its flock.
“Dear brothers and sisters! We are pleased to share some good news with you: the Primate of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus, Archbishop Chrysostomos II of Nova Justiniana and All Cyprus commemorated the name of Metropolitan Epifaniy of Kyiv and all Ukraine in the diptychs as the primate of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine during the synodal liturgy held at the Monastery of Panagia Chrysorroiatissa in Paphos on Saturday, October 24.
In this way, the Church of Cyprus, which the Church of Cyprus, one of the oldest local churches, was recognized as autocephalous at the Third Ecumenical Council, 10th in the Diptych, joined the Tomos recognition of the autocephaly of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and became the fourth Church to recognize the Local OCU after the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Church of Greece and the Patriarchate of Alexandria.
We thank our Orthodox brothers and especially Archbishop Chrysostomos for their support during the difficult period of restoration and we pray together for them, for the Church of Cyprus and the pious Cypriot people.”
