Following his official visit to Chios from September 5-8 and a brief three-day break, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew returned to the Phanar on September 11. Today, Thursday, he journeyed to the Monastery of the Holy Trinity on Halki to oversee the upcoming commemorative events in honor of the 180th anniversary of the establishment of the Holy Theological School in September 1844.
It is noteworthy that the 180th anniversary of this esteemed institution was also celebrated during the opening of the Thessaloniki International Fair.
An official statement outlining the events will be published tomorrow following the ceremonies.
