He spoke emotionally about the magnificent Church of Saint Menas in Heraklion, Crete, which has been a source of spiritual strength and inspiration for him for many years. \u201cSaint Menas has always been a point of reference for my faith, admiration, and hope,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patriarch Theodore highlighted importance of missionary work to Pilgrims from Crete<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/index.php\/2025\/04\/05\/the-door-is-not-closed-patriarch-theodoros-ii-alexandria\/\">Patriarch<\/a> informed the pilgrims about the significant work being carried out across the African continent. He highlighted the importance of missionary work and bearing witness to Orthodoxy through the Patriarchate\u2019s charitable, spiritual, and social initiatives. He conveyed his heartfelt thanks to Archbishop Eugenios II of Crete and all the hierarchs of the Church of Crete for their continuous support and tangible love for the work of the Patriarchate of Alexandria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also addressed the faithful, speaking of the excellent relations between the Patriarchate and the Egyptian leadership. He noted the remarkable fact that, as of tomorrow, the feast of Saint John the Merciful, the Egyptian government had granted the Patriarchate a plot of land in the country\u2019s new administrative capital a few years ago. This gesture attests to the deep respect and esteem that the Egyptian state has for the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conclusively, Patriarch Theodore conversed warmly with the pilgrims, many of whom he knew personally, as well as with people from their families and parishes. This filled the atmosphere with emotion and paternal affection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pilgrims received the patriarchal blessing and expressed their deep gratitude for this moving encounter with the Cretan Patriarch of Africa, who carries the flame and devotion to his homeland in his Cretan heart.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1248\" height=\"936\" src=\"https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-4.jpg\" alt=\"Pilgrims Crete Patriarchate Alexandria\" class=\"wp-image-1045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-4.jpg 1248w, https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-4-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1248px) 100vw, 1248px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orthodoxiapost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pilgrims-Crete-Patriarchate-Alexandria-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, the feast day of Saint Menas, the great martyr and wonderworker, the patron saint of Heraklion, a group of 150 pilgrims from Crete visited the &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1048,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,6],"tags":[211,212,5,210],"class_list":["post-1044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-africa","category-patriarchate-of-alexandria","tag-crete","tag-greece","tag-patriarchate-of-alexandria","tag-pilgrims-from-crete"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
