☦️ First of all, remember, Lord, our Archbishop and Patriarch, BARTHOLOMEW, and grant that he may serve your holy Churches in peace, safety, honour, health, and length of days, rightly discerning the word of your truth. (From the Holy Anaphora of the Divine Liturgy of
St John Chrysostom)

☦️ Ἐν πρώτοις μνήσθητι, Κύριε, τοῦ Ἁρχιεπισκόπου καὶ Πατριάρχου ἡμῶν, ΒΑΡΘΟΛΟΜΑΙΟΥ, ὃν χάρισαι ταῖς ἁγίαις σου Ἐκκλησίαις ἐν εἰρήνῃ, σῷον, ἔντιμον, ὑγιᾶ μακροημερεύοντα καὶ ὀρθοτομοῦντα τὸν λόγον τῆς σῆς ἀληθείας.

Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἦχος α ‘. Τῆς ἐρήμου πολίτης.

Τοῦ Σωτῆρος τὸ κάλλος ἐκ ψυχῆς ἀγαπήσασα, καλλιπάρθενε κόρη, Καλλιόπη πανεύφημε, ἠγώνισαι
στεῤῥῶς ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ δόξης ἠξιώθης θεϊκῆς· διὰ τοῦτό σου τὴν μνήμην τὴν ἱεράν, τιμῶμεν ἐκβοῶντές σοι· δόξα τῷ δεδωκότι σοι ἰσχύν, δόξα τῷ σὲ στεφανώσαντι, δόξα τῷ χορηγοῦντι διὰ σοῦ, ἡμῖν πταισμάτων ἄφεσιν.

The Apolytikion in Tone 1
Having loved the beauty of the Saviour from your Soul, O comely-Virgin lady, O all-praised Kalliopi, you struggled steadfastly on His behalf,
and were made worthy of Divine Glory. Because of this, we honour your Holy Memory and cry out to you: Glory to Him Who gave you strength,
Glory to Him Who Crowned you, Glory to Him Who grants to us, through you, remission of offenses.

COTY Pentecost Picnic at Hyde Park

On Sunday 31st May 2026, with the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Nikitas, Christian Orthodox Thyateira Youth celebrated its annual Pentecost Picnic at Hyde Park. Following the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy at the Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Divine Wisdom in Bayswater, over which His Grace Bishop Maximos of Melitene presided, over 250 young people gathered in Hyde Park for an afternoon of food, fellowship and celebration.

The gathering offered young people from across London and the wider Archdiocese opportunities to reconnect, meet new faces, share the joy of our faith and enjoy a relaxing day in the park. His Grace Bishop Iakovos of Claudiopolis joined Fr Gregory Florides, Coordinator of COTY, in order to greet and encourage the diverse and extensive group, reflecting and expressing the Church’s embrace of all peoples, ‘calling all to unity and with one voice glorifying the All-Holy Spirit.’
