At the end of the Divine Liturgy, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew thanked God for “the blessing and grace he has poured out” noting that the Arsenal Hill turned into the Hill of Grace and Blessing.
His Holiness wished Patriarch Daniel, the hierarchs, clergy, state officials and the well-believing sons and daughters of the Romanian Church “many days, physical and spiritual health.”
