On Friday, 2 / 15 May 2026, His Beatitude, our Father and Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos III, received Mrs Anna Symeonov, and thereafter received a group of fifty Serbian and thirty-five Romanian pilgrims.
His Beatitude bestowed his blessing upon them and addressed them with paternal and encouraging words concerning the Cross and Resurrection of Christ, and concerning the Horrendous Golgotha and the All-Holy Tomb, as places and signs of reference for Christians and their unity in Christ.
Thereafter, His Beatitude received Fr Alexandros of the Church of Ukraine and Hieromonk Pachomios of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR).
