Safronov, a legal assistant.

Upon their arrival in Istanbul on June 9, the Russian guests worshipped at the Monastery of the Our Lady the Life-Giving Source at Valukli, where Patriarchs of Constantinople are buried. After the service, His Holiness Bartholomew said the litiya for the dead at the grave of his predecessor, Patriarch Demetrios of eternal memory.

On the following day, the Divine Liturgy was celebrated at St. George’s at Fanar. After the solemn service, Metropolitan Athanasios of Chalcedon offered congratulations to the head of the Church of Constantinople on behalf of the clergy and laity of the Church. Bishop Tikhon read out a congratulatory message from Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russian and presented Patriarch Bartholomew with a pectoral icon with a commemorative inscription and liturgical vessels.

Patriarch Bartholomew thanked him for the congratulations and asked to convey cordial greetings and brotherly embrace to the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
