Ecumenical Patriarch to visit Portugal in May

The Holy Metropolis of Spain and Portugal announced that it would have the joy and blessing of the presence of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in Lisbon, at the invitation of the International Centre for Dialogue KAICIID in the framework of its World Dialogue Forum (14-16 May).

In addition, the Ecumenical Patriarch will preside at the Divine Liturgy on Thursday 16 May at 10:00 a.m., in memory of Saint Nicholas the Mystic, Patriarch of Constantinople, at the Greek Orthodox Parish of the Virgin Mary and will bless the multi-ethnic flock of the Portuguese capital.

It is worth noting that this will be the first time that an Ecumenical Patriarch will visit the blessed country of Portugal and its capital city.
