The Abbot of I.M Agios Gerasimos of Jordan Elder Chrysostomos has fallen asleeptranslated

The Patriarchate of Jerusalem with deep sorrow announces the consecration to the Lord of the Elder Archimandrite Chrysostomos, for a long series of years Abbot of the Holy Monastery of Saint Gerasimos of Jordan, who fell asleep a short time ago in Athens, after testing his health.

Blessed Geron Chrysostomos, originally from Mani, was a devoted member of the Holy Sepulcher Brotherhood for ten years and faithfully officiated at the Zionist Church and the Holy Pilgrimages. His long-term ministry was connected above all with the Holy Monastery of Saint Gerasimos of Jordan, which he took over in a difficult situation and, through a lot of effort and personal care, renovated and brought it to its current form.

His Beatitude Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III, and the Holy Sepulcher Sisterhood about him, say goodbye with emotion to the blessed Elder, in the hope of the Resurrection and according to the apostolic word: "if we live, if we die, we are the Lord's" (Rom. 14, 8), praying that the Lord God will rest his soul in the land of the living and in the tents of the righteous.
