Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew contacted Patriarch John of Antioch by phone on Saturday, February 22, 2025, who thanked him for the kind care of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Greek community of Constantinople for offering prefabricated houses to earthquake victims in the area of ancient Antioch, who were affected by the devastating earthquake of February 2023.
On his part, the Ecumenical Patriarch expressed, once again, the strong interest and brotherly support of himself and the Holy Great Church of Christ to the ancient Patriarchate of Antioch and his flock, and more generally to the Christians of the Middle East, reiterating that they are in his prayers day and night.
