Balgarianovinite.com Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew told the media covering the visit of Bulgarian Patriarch Daniil to the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople that this visit has greatly contributed to “the strengthening of the bond between the Church of Constantinople and the Bulgarian Church.”
On Sunday, the Ecumenical Patriarch attended the prayerful participation of Patriarch Daniil in the Divine Liturgy at the Church of St Stephen (San Stefano) in Istanbul’s Yesilkoy district. The liturgy was led by the spiritual head of the Bulgarian Orthodox community in Istanbul, Archimandrite Charalambos Nichev.
“It is a great joy for us to have among us this distinguished, most eminent guest, Bulgarian Patriarch Daniil,” the Ecumenical Patriarch said. “We spent these few days with him so pleasantly that we now regret his departure. We thank him sincerely for undertaking this peaceful visit, which already represents a historic event,” Patriarch Bartholomew added.
He said that since Patriarch Daniil is “a young primate, the prayers of the Holy Church, of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, will always accompany him, so that he may lead the devout Orthodox Bulgarian people toward paths and springs of salvation, and that under his leadership the contribution of the Bulgarian Church to Orthodox unity and cooperation may always be of great value.”
“It was a joy to be in communion with distinguished hierarchs and metropolitans of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, whom we have known for a long time and with whom we maintain friendly relations,” the Ecumenical Patriarch added.
Addressing the representatives of the media, he said: “To you, the representatives of the mass media who are present here and who covered this event, we extend our heartfelt gratitude, and we wish everyone a blessed New Year, with peace throughout the entire world.” Ecumenical Patriarch Says Bulgarian Patriarch’s Visit Deepens Church Relations 2025 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2025-12-28 14:50:00 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
