Messages of peace from His Beatitude Theodoros II, Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa, who was in his birthplace and prayed in the Holy Metropolitan Church of Saint Minas for the Orthodox people.
"My heart aches when people are killed and buildings are demolished in Ukraine", said the patriarch, who turned back time to when he himself was in Odessa from Spili in 1985, where he remained for 10 years.
"In front of Saint Minas, my prayer is “Grant, O Lord, peace to these Orthodox peoples. "No more bloodshed," said the Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa, who from Heraklion made special reference to the large area donated by Egyptian President Al Sisi to the Patriarchate in the new Administrative Capital of Egypt, which is emerging from the desert. and which is the newest capital of the world.
The Patriarchate now acquires its own space, as a church and a multicultural area will be built which will embrace all people, which His Beatitude dedicates as he said, to his three homelands, Greece, Egypt and Cyprus.
This is a huge area in Cairo, which will be the new center of Orthodoxy, while it will be a beacon for the missionary work of the Patriarchate on the long-suffering continent.
