The Archbishop of America, in his encyclical, makes special reference to the war in Ukraine, expressing his lamentation for the great destruction caused to the country by the unjust and senseless attack of Russia
His lament for the captivity of the Great Church, of “our precious Hagia Sophia which was needlessly captured”, is expressed by Archbishop of America Elpidophoros in his circular for the sad two-year anniversary of the conversion of the symbol of Christianity into an Islamic mosque.
THE Archbishop of America notes, in addition, that “we keep hope for the return of Hagia Sophia, which still inspires all those souls who seek the unadulterated Orthodox faith at least in the previous regime, when the museum environment of the holy temple could still reveal the glory of Byzantium, which is now hidden for other purposes».
“Let us pray, he says, that her beauty will not be covered forever, but will be revealed for the whole world to admire.” At the same time, Archbishop Elpidophoros makes a special reference to the war in Ukraine, expressing his lamentation for the great destruction caused to the country by Russia’s unjust and senseless attack, and points out that “these two nations are children of the Great Church and it was the beauty of Hagia Sophia that inspired their baptism».
