Discovery of an Unrecognized 'Saint' in a Paphos Church
May 23, 2025
In a church in Mesana, the birthplace of Metropolitan Tychikos, a fresco and icon of a clergyman were found, who has not been canonized by the Ecumenical Patriarchate. The name of this individual, Nektarios Vitalis, is not included in the Canon and has never been proposed for canonization. The Archbishop of Cyprus is called to address this situation, as it has serious implications for the church and the faithful. The process of canonization is strict and requires time and specific criteria.
