The West Is Healing

 

Spiritual healing is happening in the West (i.e., she is returning to the Orthodox Faith of her forefathers), though the pace is slow at the moment.  Let us pray that nothing will disrupt it.

 . . .

In October, at the request of Abp. Nestor, the [Roman Catholic] Archbishop of Granada decided to transfer the Church of St. Bartholomew to the Orthodox parish of the Holy Protection.

The church stands in the historical center of the city. Its construction was completed in 1574.

Many new Orthodox communities have developed in Spain and Portugal in recent years. The Ukrainian Church opened two parishes in two months in late 2017, and early the next year, the Russian Church was given territory in Portugal twice within a month.

In March 2018, a church was consecrated in the Spanish seaside city of Torrevieja, and in September that year, construction began on a church in Estepona, Spain.

In November 2019, the first Romanian Orthodox monastery was consecrated in Portugal, and in September of this year, the Moscow Patriarchate began building its first church in Portugal.

In October 2018, the feast of 200 saints of Spain and Portugal was celebrated for the first time by Romanian and Russian hierarchs in Spain, and in December of that year, the Russian Church added 80 of the Iberian saints to its calendar.
