#379178 - 04/24/12 06:18 PM Liturgy in Turkey
Nataly Member Registered: 01/08/12 Posts: 88 Loc: Russia	Pontian Greeks with the help of Russian Greek community could have an exclusive opportunity to come to their historical land, which belongs to Turks now, and take part in the liturgy that was held by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in Sumela Monastery. Turks promise also to permit a Christmas liturgy this year! It would be nice if it takes place in St.Sophia in Constantinople (sorry, Istanbul)... My dream. Some interesting photos of this event: http://www.pravmir.ru/bozhya-mater-chernoj-gory-fotoreportazh Edited by Nataly (04/24/12 06:19 PM)

Curious Joe Member Registered: 02/29/04 Posts: 309 Loc: NY	Wonderful pictures of a momentous service! Let us pray that this is warming of the hearts of the civic leaders of Turkey is permanent, and that faithful Christians may be blessed once again to worship freely and in peace. May God grant the EP, his brother Patriarchs who helped make this possible, the faithful Pontian Greeks and all those who participated, peace, health and happiness for many blessed years!

Penthaetria Member Registered: 09/16/04 Posts: 713 Loc: DC area	Nataly, thank you for posting this link. It's so touching to see the descendants of the genocide gathered at their home. The web translator may not be perfect, but it did give me a good sense of what was happening. Thank you.

May the memory of our Greek and Armenian brethren who were victims of the genocides be eternal! Many years, Neil _________________________ "One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared.
