It is good that Vladyka Anthony visited Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou in Eurich and then in the courtyard of the Kykkos monastery. I wonder what issues of inter-Orthodox relations were discussed this time. I hope such meetings help maintain normal connections.

I agree, Georgiy, in Eurich, Neophytos always receives a homely welcome. And in the courtyard of the Kykkos Monastery, they probably talked about pilgrims - many of us go there. I wonder if it was possible to discuss anything specific about Mount Athos or Ukraine, or again just general words?

It’s good that Vladyka Anthony stopped at Eurychos to see Neophytos - things are always simple and to the point there. I hope we also talked about joint projects with the Kykkos Monastery, where we collect food for pilgrims through the church. What do you think, is it worth making such visits more often?

Yes, it’s always like home in Eurich, Neophyte is very hospitable. And they probably did touch on Mount Athos - our pilgrims often complain that it is now difficult to obtain visas. Mikhail, have you ever been to the Kykkos courtyard?
