Ongoing Efforts for the Transfer of Saint Paul's Relic to Cyprus
April 25, 2025
Archbishop George is persisting in his efforts to transfer the relic of Saint Paul to Cyprus, despite the recent passing of Pope Francis. This transfer had been planned but has been postponed out of respect for the Vatican's mourning. The relationship between the Archbishop and Paphos Metropolitan Tychikos has been strained due to Tychikos' refusal to accept the relic. The Archbishop aims to maintain good relations with the Holy See regarding the Cyprus issue.
