Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem arrived in Moscow on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at the invitation of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow.
He was welcomed at Moscow’s Vnukovo-3 Airport by a delegation of senior representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church. Among those receiving him were Metropolitan Anthony of Volokolamsk, Chairman of the Department for External Church Relations (DECR) of the Moscow Patriarchate, and Archpriest Nikolai Balashov, Adviser to Patriarch Kirill.
The visit is a meeting between the leaders of two Orthodox churches, a fact that points toward unity among believers (Psalm 133:1).
Further details regarding the Patriarch of Jerusalem’s program in Moscow have not yet been announced.
