Patriarch of Alexandria Theodoros II officiates at Divine Liturgy in commemoration of solemn memory of St. Cyril III Lukaris

The Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa, His Most Divine Beatitude Theodoros II, this week officiated at the Divine Liturgy at the Patriarchal chapel of the Apostle Mark, within the Holy Monastery of St. Savvas the Sanctified in Alexandria, and in commemoration of the solemn memory of St. Cyril III Lukaris, or Lucareos, a 17th century Patriarch of Alexandria and later Ecumenical Patriarch.
The Patriarch of Alexandria referred to a recent decision by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople to inscribe in the Hagiology of the Eastern Orthodox Church the celebrating Holy Hieromartyr Cyril.

Halfway around the world, with the blessing of the Archbishop of Australia, His Eminence Makarios, Bishop Bartholomew of Charioupolis, the Archiepiscopal vicar of Canberra, this month visited the large island of Tasmania.

His Grace conducted a memorial service at the cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Hobart for the dearly beloved brethren who lost their lives during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.

The High Commissioner of Cyprus in Australia, Martha Mavromatis, was present at the service.

In his statements, the Bishop of Charioupolis underlined that “…although there are not many Cypriots in Tasmania, we must hold Cyprus close to our hearts, because we are all Greek and united by our common Christian faith”.
