In a message on social media, Archbishop Elpidophoros of America honoured Great Photios.
As his message points out, Great Photios, Patriarch of Constantinople, “flooded the Danube with missionaries who brought forth the Baptism of Rus.”
Today we celebrate St. Photios the Great, Patriarch of Constantinople, who defended the First Throne of Orthodoxy, and flooded the Danube with missionaries who brought forth the Baptism of Rus.
