Metropolitan Sawa of Poland: Agia Sophia Cathedral in Warsaw is a divine gift

On the eve of Mid-Pentecost, 29 May 2024, the Agia Sophia Cathedral in Warsaw hosted a solemn Divine Liturgy. Presiding over the service was His Beatitude Archbishop Sawa of Warsaw and Metropolitan of All Poland, with His Eminence Archbishop Gregory of Bielsk delivering the homily.

In his address, Metropolitan Sawa emphasised the divine purpose of humanity, created by God to partake in the Kingdom of Heaven and to perpetually glorify the Lord. He acknowledged the presence of evil in today’s world and underscored the responsibility of every Christian to spread the Easter joy of the Resurrection to those around them.

Metropolitan Sawa also marked a significant milestone in the history of the Polish Orthodox Church—the 100th anniversary of the granting of the Tomos of Autocephaly by the Ecumenical Patriarchate. He expressed gratitude, referring to the Agia Sophia Cathedral in Warsaw as a divine gift.
