On the 23rd
of October, 2019, the Ecumenical Patriarch, His All-Holiness Bartholomew
II, proclaimed the entry into the Official Calendar of the Church of
yet another Athonite saint: Elder Sophronios (Sacharov) from Essex. The
announcement was made in the conference of the Holy Council of Mount
Athos by His All-Holiness with a lot of emotion.
