With the blessing of His All-Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, a Delegation of the Mother Church, consisting of His Eminence Metropolitan Emmanuel of France and the Patriarchal Deacon Iakovos Krochak, went to Kyiv for today’s celebration (according to the Julian calendar) of the memory of Saint Andrew the First-Called, whose name the Stavropygion honors. This historic Church was given to the Ecumenical Patriarchate by the Ukrainian State in 2018.
