Pope Leo XIV is set to travel to Turkey in November for a visit to the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the first by a pope in several years, the patriarchate confirmed.
The visit follows an invitation from Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and coincides with the 1,700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council held in Nicaea.
Both church leaders are expected to visit Nicaea, Bithynia, on November 28, before the Pope’s official stop at the Phanar on November 29-30 for celebrations marking the Feast of Saint Andrew the Apostle, regarded as the founder of the Church of Constantinople.
