The pilgrimage of Bishop Antanias to Mount Athos has been completedtranslated

With rich spiritual experiences, blessed meetings and a strong sense of ecclesiastical unity, the multi-day pilgrimage visit of the Professor of the Holy Monastery of the Holy Forerunner Bigorski, Bishop Antonia, Mr. Parthenios, ended on Mount Athos. The occasion for the blessed visit was the cordial invitation of the Right of the Koutloumousian Skete of Agios Panteleimon to Karyes Hierodeacon Fr.

This is the first coming of Theophilestatos to Mount Athos as a Bishop, but also his first liturgical appearance on Mount Athos after thirty-six whole years - ever since, as a young theologian and trainee monk, he lived for a time in the Holy Monastery of Saint Gregory, under the wise spiritual guidance of the blessed Elder Georgios Kapsanis.

Special moments were the celebration at the Holy Skete of Agios Panteleimon and the warm welcome at the Holy Monastery of Xenophon, where the Bishop of Antania, Mr. Parthenios, met with Elder Alexios and the brotherhood.
