October 29, 2015

    

The News Gate of the Jerusalem Patriarchate has reported that Archimandrite Keladion reposed early on the morning of the October 14/27. Fr. Keladion, a member of the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre (a Hagiotaphite), passed away at his residence in the Patriarchate following a four-month illness and hospitalization.

Patriarch Theophilos of Jerusalem celebrated a Trisagion for the repose of the soul of Fr. Keladion towards the end of the Divine Liturgy at the monastic church of Sts. Constantine and Helen, upon hearing of his repose.

The Patriarch also officiated his funeral on Wednesday October 15/28 in the same church of Sts. Constantine and Helen, offering a eulogy in his honor and in memory of all his labors as a hagiotaphite father.

May the Lord grant rest to his soul in the land of the living with the righteous and the just.

While globalized society, especially in the Middle East, continues to face dilemmas that are being articulated in the form of a choice between secular or religious rule, it’s important to remember that there need not be a choice at all. In one of the most conflicted and diverse regions of the world, a shining example of how to maneuver between religion and politics, seems to lie in the Patriarchate of Jerusalem. As a longtime survivor of conflict and promoter of peace, its lesson is to make respect for the other a priority and keep the focus on one’s own mission.

The church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem could be said to be the main church of holy Orthodox. The building includes both Golgotha where our Lord was crucified, and His holy grave, or sepulchre, where He rose again from the dead for the salvation of the world. As such, countless millions of pilgrims have traveled to the Holy Land to venerate the sites in this holy church, since its founding in 326 by the order of Emperor St. Constantine the Great, which is celebrated by the Orthodox Church every year on September 13/26.
