Kyriakos Mitsotakis attends memorial service for late Archbishop Anastasios

·

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis paid tribute to the late Archbishop Anastasios of Albania by attending a solemn memorial service held on Sunday at the Holy Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens. The service, led by Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece, drew the participation of religious leaders, officials, and members of the public.

Archbishop Anastasios, a towering figure in the Orthodox Christian world, passed away recently, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy as the head of the Orthodox Church of Albania. His leadership, marked by resilience and devotion, was instrumental in reviving Orthodoxy in Albania after decades of religious suppression under the communist regime.

Prime Minister Mitsotakis joined other dignitaries in honouring the late Archbishop’s contributions to faith, humanity, and reconciliation. Archbishop Anastasios was widely recognised not only for his spiritual leadership but also for his efforts to promote interfaith dialogue and peace in the Balkans.

During the service, Archbishop Ieronymos emphasised the profound impact of Archbishop Anastasios’ life and work, highlighting his unwavering commitment to spreading the message of faith and unity. The ceremony served as a moment of reflection and gratitude for his enduring contributions to the Orthodox Church and society at large.

Archbishop Anastasios’ legacy continues to inspire countless individuals, and his passing marks the end of an era for the Orthodox Church of Albania.
