Hieromonk Iulian (Lazăr), one of the most beloved fathers of the Romanian Prodromou Skete on Mt. Athos, reposed in the Lord today, March 10, the skete reports.

Fr. Iulian, who hailed from Botoșani in northeastern Romania and spent 46 years on the Holy Mountain, was 97 years old.

“Many Romanian monks and others, as well as laymen who came to Mt. Athos, found in Fr. Iulian of Prodromou a spiritual father full of love, which every soul needs on the path to the Kingdom,” writes the Romanian Patriarchate’s Basilica News Agency.

The funeral for Fr. Iulian will be served tomorrow afternoon. May his memory be eternal!
