\nThe delegation accompanying His Holiness the Pope included Their Eminences Bishop Marcos, Bishop of Shubra El Kheima, Bishop Daniel, Bishop of Maadi, Bishop Ermia, General Bishop, Fr.

Speech of Patriarch Theodoros II, Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox … I\u00a0carry a message of peace and greetings of President Putin, the Ecumenical Patriarch and Patriarch Kyrl<\/span>
\n“Dear brother and dear friend, today a large part of my prayer in the Mass I dedicated for you, I look for the Crucified Christ and tell him to give His Holiness Pope Tawadros II health and lifetime.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Thank you for greeting us. You\u00a0bear the Coptic Orthodox Church in the world, and you support our Church\u00a0as we are\u00a0one family and one faith.<\/span>
\nFrom the time I was in Istanbul and Russia, Patriarch Kyrl\u00a0and Patriarch Bartholomew\u00a0send you their love and\u00a0salutation and they all admire the nobility of your holiness.<\/span><\/h2>\n

During a meeting with President Putin, he asked to deliver\u00a0his salutation to your holiness and told me it was great that two great patriarchs\u00a0have the same name Theodoros.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our presence\u00a0together gives a message of love and peace to the whole world, especially the Middle East, where there are conflicts and wars, and I want you to know that any\u00a0terrorist attack occur, our whole heart is with you and we weep for\u00a0all human being in our prayers and we work for peace.<\/span><\/h2>\n

When I meet people from the Coptic Church in Africa I find them helping me<\/span>
\nPope Theodoros gave HH Pope Tawadros a Chalice, from Russia, hoping that we would gather on one Eucharist, and gave\u00a0him his\u00a0personal rosary.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pope Theodoros said, in response to the gift presented by His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, that he would use it and illuminate it in\u00a0his own office. I assure you that I am not afraid\u00a0because your Holiness prayer is on my side.<\/span><\/h2>\n
