Primate of the Orthodox Church of Antioch, His Beatitude Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, John X, congratulated His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphriy of Kiev and All Ukraine on the Day of Heavenly Patron saint, the website of the DECR UOC writes.
“On the occasion of the feast of the Reverend and God-bearing Father Onuphrius, we salute Your Beatitude, since you not only bear the name of this great lamp of the desert, but also inherit his humility, unceasing prayers, patience and renunciation of earthly blessings.
We pray to the Lord and our God Jesus Christ to grant your Beatitude for many years to lead His verbal flock in Ukraine, which has been entrusted to your worthy guardianship,” wrote the Primate of the Church of Antioch.
