His Holiness Patriarch Paulos I of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia arrived
in Antelias yesterday accompanied with six Bishops. The Patriarch will stay

During his stay, Patriarch Paulos will ordain the newly built Ethiopian
church, in the construction of which His Holiness Aram I played a decisive
role.

Welcoming the Ethiopian Patriarch in Antelias, His Holiness assured that
such visits further strengthen the cooperation between the two churches and
