On December 1, 2024, there were significant promotions announced within the Patriarchal Court at the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
During the Divine Liturgy at the Patriarchal Church, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew bestowed the new title of Grand Archimandrite upon the former Grand Syncellus, Iakovos (Krochak).
Furthermore, the Holy and Sacred Synod, following a proposal by the Ecumenical Patriarch, made the decision during today’s session to appoint Patriarchal Deacon Evlogios Tsatsas to the position of Codicographer.
Deacon Evlogios had been temporarily serving in this role since the previous year.
Lastly, after the ordination of Deacon Hieronymos Sotirelis to the priesthood, the Ecumenical Patriarch designated Epiphanios Kamianovych, a Patriarchal Deacon, as the new Deacon of the Series.
