On Monday, 19th February 2024, His Eminence Archbishop Nikitas of Thyateira and Great Britain attended the annual Lunar New Year’s Dinner graciously hosted by parishioner, Mr. Anthoy Ling at the Phoenix Palace, London. A culturally and ethnically diverse group of Orthodox Christians consisting of clergy and laity gathered to celebrate the start of the new lunar year. This annual celebration also demonstrates the cosmopolitan nature of the Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain as well as its vision of cultivating unity in diversity throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. At the conclusion of the dinner, the Chinese new year’s cake was blessed and offered by His Eminence wishing all health, joy, and fortune in the new year.
