October: Transfer of Apostle Paul's Relic to Paphos
July 3, 2026
In October, the transfer of the relic of Apostle Paul to Paphos will take place after a delay caused by Metropolitan Tychikos. The Archbishop of Cyprus, Georgios, plans to visit the Vatican to arrange the process. The relic will arrive in Paphos because that is where Apostle Paul preached for the first time. The relationship between the Archbishop and Metropolitan Tychikos has been strained due to this issue. Ultimately, the relic of Apostle Paul will return to the place where he preached.
