HIS BEATITUDE THEOPHILOS, PATRIARCH OF JERUSALEM, DECORATES THE MOST REVEREND METROPOLITAN OF VERIA

On Thursday the 6^th/19^th of February 2015, H.B. Theophilos, Patriarch of Jerusalem, conferred on the Most Reverend Panteleimon, Metropolitan of Veria, Naousa and Campania, the honorary title of the Supreme Taxiarch of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher. Metropolitan Panteleimon was accompanying a group of pilgrims in a pilgrimage along the Holy Shrines.

The award of the honorary distinction took place in the context of a humble ceremony at the Patriarchate in recognition of the Metropolitan’s contribution to the progress of church life and the science of the theology of the New Testament by establishing the “Pavlia” event; also, for his support of the Patriarchate by organizing pilgrimage tours to the Holy Land.

Moved, the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Veria thanked His Beatitude for this heartening honor and promised to continue working for the elevation of the spiritual life of the members of his Bishopric, as well as carry on his activities in support of the struggles of the Mother of Churches in the Holy Land.
