The Patriarchate of Jerusalem strongly condemns the actions of the “Philanthropic Market” and the self-proclaimed association “Friends of the Well of Jacob” based in Nicosia, Cyprus. These groups falsely claim to raise funds for the medical expenses and security of Archimandrite Ioustinos, the Hegumen of the Jacob’s Well Pilgrimage. The Patriarchate demands an immediate halt to such deceitful actions.
It is important to note that the Patriarchate fully covers all medical expenses and security measures for Archimandrite Ioustinos. Any actions suggesting otherwise are defamatory to the Patriarchate, the Jacob’s Well Pilgrimage, and Archimandrite Ioustinos, who is the esteemed founder of the Church of St. Fotini, the Samaritan woman.
