On June 11, 2026, the head of the Constantinople Patriarchate, Patriarch Bartholomew, led the Liturgy on the feast day of his heavenly patron at St. George's Church in his native village of Agio-Theodori on the Turkish island of Imbros. Concelebrating with him were the Primate of the Bulgarian Church, Patriarch Daniel, and the Primate of the Romanian Church, Patriarch Daniil.
During the service, Patriarch Bartholomew commemorated OCU leader Epifaniy Dumenko at the Great Entrance among the heads of the autocephalous Orthodox Churches.
The commemoration of the OCU leader took place despite the fact that neither the Bulgarian nor the Romanian Church has recognized the OCU.
As the UOJ reported, Archbishop Georgios of Cyprus commemorated Dumenko during a liturgy in Romania.
