Archbishop Elpidophoros Mount Athos Visit
GreekNewsOnDemand.com comments: Please note that Elpidoforos (or Elpidophoros) has now become…ANATHEMA for some monasteries in Mt. Athos for…OBVIOUS REASONS! He has VIOLATED both the Word of God and Church Canons by allowing homosexuals into the Church!!! Not to mention how everyone knows by now that’s he’s a…TURKISH AGENT!!!
Archbishop Elpidophoros is scheduled to preside over the Vigil of the Epiphany tonight at the Xenophontos Monastery, specifically in the monastery’s katholikon. Tomorrow morning, following the Vigil, he will preside over the Divine Liturgy, attend the traditional ceremony of Diving for the Holy Cross into the sea, and perform the Blessing of the Waters at the marina of the monastery.
We begin this holy pilgrimage to Mount Athos with a profound sense of awe and joy, welcomed by Elder Alexios, the Αbbot of the Holy Monastery of Xenophontos. May our pilgrimage be blessed! pic.twitter.com/texnknTkoT

The Archbishop of America arrived in Thessaloniki in the morning, accompanied by his entourage. Subsequently, he travelled by road to Ouranoupolis and later took a boat in the afternoon to reach the Xenophontos Monastery.
He is expected to be joined by forty Greek-Americans, including four clergymen, who are joining him on a pilgrimage to Mount Athos. During his visit, the Archbishop will also make stops at the monasteries of Philotheos and Pantokrator. He is scheduled to depart on Monday, heading back to Thessaloniki.
