Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to visit Chios for special events honouring late Ecumenical Patriarchs

The Cultural and Social Ministry Foundation of Kallimasia on the Greek island of Chios will host commemorative events on Sunday, 8 September 2024, to honour the late Ecumenical Patriarchs Ioakeim II and Ioakeim IV. These events will take place in Kallimasia, their birthplace, at the Holy Parish Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary.

The day’s activities will commence with Matins and the Divine Liturgy, presided over by His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. Following the Divine Liturgy, a Patriarchal Memorial service will be held to honour the memory of the late Patriarchs. The commemorations will conclude with a Patriarchal Trisagion at the burial site of Ecumenical Patriarch Ioakeim IV.

These events are a significant tribute to the two prominent figures of Orthodoxy and provide an opportunity for the local community to express its respect and gratitude for their contributions to the Church and society.
