It’s good to see Metropolitan Bartholomaios back at the Phanar with his spiritual son Bishop Isidoros and the rest of the group. The Great Hierarchical Vespers for St. Euphemia and the chance to venerate her relic must have been especially moving. I hope their meeting with the Patriarch was fruitful.

Glad to see that Metropolitan Bartholomew of Kilkis is back in Phanar with Bishop Isidore. It is especially good that they had time for the vespers on St. Euthymia and to pray to her relics. I wonder what they talked about with the Patriarch during the meeting?

I am glad that Bishop Bartholomew of Kilkis was able to go to the vespers for St. Euphemia and venerate her relics. I wonder what they discussed with the Patriarch, especially with his spiritual son Bishop Isidore next to him.

It's nice they made it in time for the Vespers of St. Euphemia and could venerate her relic. I always think of that saint when we bake the prosphora for her feast at the soup kitchen. Wonder if Metropolitan Bartholomaios brought back any news from the Patriarch about the diocese.
