On Wednesday, June 1, 2022, the Patriarchate of Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of the Apodosis of Pascha, which is held at the completion of forty days after the day of the Resurrection.

On this day the Troparia of Matins are the same as those chanted on Pascha day.

For this joyful feast, the Service of Matins and the Divine Liturgy were celebrated at the Monastic Church of Saints Constantine and Helen, with the participation of Patriarch Theophilos of Jerusalem and Hagiotaphite Fathers.

After the Divine Liturgy, according to the custom, the Hagiotaphite Brotherhood went to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where the Divine Liturgy was also being celebrated at the Catholicon, led by Metropolitan Isychios of Kapitolias with the co-celebration of Bishop Nikolaos of Amathous visiting from Cyprus, under the chanting of Hierodeacon Simeon and Gotsopoulos, with the attendance of local faithful Christians and pilgrims.

After the Divine Liturgy, the Episcopal Entourage returned to the Patriarchate to pay their respects to the Patriarch.
