Elections for New Metropolitan of Paphos Before the Feast of the Flood
May 20, 2026
Paphos will have a new Metropolitan before the feast of the Flood, following the approval of the Statute of the Church of Cyprus. Archbishop Georgios will announce elections for the new Metropolitan, and there will be no participation from the faithful. The Holy Synod will meet to create a shortlist of candidates. Several names have been leaked, but the final candidates remain uncertain. The filling of the throne has been delayed since almost a year has passed since the previous Metropolitan Tychikos was removed.
