For Greece’s National Day, the Ecumenical Patriarchate sent Grand Archimandrite Gregory to the Consulate General of Constantinople. He conducted the doxology and memorial service, delivering congratulations and best wishes from the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the local Greek community to Consul General Ambassador Konstantinos Koutras.
Prior to this, Grand Archimandrite Gregory represented the Ecumenical Patriarch at the Divine Liturgy for the Feast of the Holy Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos. The Liturgy was officiated by Bishop Benjamin of Tralles at the Holy Cathedral of the Entry of the Theotokos in Pera.
