On Monday, 9 March 2026, the day on which our Church commemorates the memory of the Holy Forty Martyrs, His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, visited the Cemetery of Saint Ignatius of Chalcedon.
The Patriarch was accompanied by His Eminence Elder Metropolitan Emmanuel of Chalcedon and Deacon Evlogios Tsatsas, Codicographer of the Holy and Sacred Synod.
There, he chanted the Trisagion before the grave of his revered Elder, the ever-memorable Metropolitan Meliton of Chalcedon, offering prayers for the repose of his soul.
