On Monday morning, 18/31 July 2023, after the Divine Liturgy at the Horrendous Golgotha which was led by His Eminence Archbishop Aristarchos of Constantina, the fortieth-day memorial service of the Patriarchal Representative in Acre- Ptolemais Archimandrite Philotheos was held by the Patriarchate. Archimandrite Philotheos passed away while working on restoring the Holy Church of Saint George in Acre.
The memorial service was led by His Beatitude our Father and Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos, with Holy Sepulchre Archbishops, Hieromonks and Hierodeacons, with the participation in prayer of monks, nuns and faithful Christians, who honoured the memory of the departed and prayed for the repose of his soul in the land of the living along with the righteous.

Everlasting his remembrance!
