Commenting on the celebration of the martyr Archbishop Cyprian by the Metropolitan of Limassol prior to official recognition by the Holy Synod, the Head of the Church of Cyprus, Archbishop Chrysostom, said that “no one can act independently in these matters,” and if this happens, “then the Synod can consider tough decisions.” This is reported by Orthodox times.

The Archbishop of Cyprus declared: “The Martyr Cyprian can be a saint. God makes him holy, not us. The Synod recognizes this, and then makes a decision, and not everyone does what they want. This is what the Holy Synod decides. Alas! Nobody can act on their own. If something like this happens, it is serious, and then the Synod can consider tough decisions. “
