On the occasion of Greece’s National Day, the Ecumenical Patriarchate sent the Grand Archimandrite Gregory to the Consulate General of Constantinople.
He presided over the doxology and memorial service. He conveyed to the Consul General, Ambassador Konstantinos Koutras, the congratulations and best wishes of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the local Greek community.
Earlier, in honor of the Feast of the Holy Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, the Grand Archimandrite Gregory attended the Divine Liturgy as the representative of the Ecumenical Patriarch.
Bishop Benjamin of Tralles celebrated the Liturgy in the Holy Cathedral of the Entry of the Theotokos in Pera.
