And this morning, Pat. Porfirije joined His Beatitude Patriarch Theophilos of Jerusalem in the celebration of the Presanctified Liturgy at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built on the site where our Lord was crucified, buried, and resurrected, reports the Jerusalem Patriarchate.

The primates were joined by other hierarchs and clerics from both Churches. The service was celebrated at the chapel erected specifically on the site of Golgotha.
