National Cathedral | HAH Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew presides over the Divine Liturgy

His Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew presided over the Divine Liturgy concelebrated with Patriarch Daniel and the members of the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church on the occasion of the inauguration of the National Cathedral.

Over 30,000 believers from home and abroad attended the event.

At the end of the Divine Liturgy, all Orthodox pilgrims will have access to the Cathedral on the very day of the consecration (Nov. 25), as well as the following days (Nov. 26-29), having the opportunity to enter and venerate the newly consecrated Holy Altar.

Sunday morning, the two Patriarchs officiated the consecration ceremony of the Romanian People’s Salvation Cathedral in Bucharest. The hierarchs consecrated the Holy Altar and blessed the mosaic iconostasis.

The Romanian People’s Salvation Cathedral itself is a memorial built in honour of all those who sacrificed their lives for the freedom, unity and dignity of the Romanian people.
