Archbishop Anastasios of Albania in the Athens Hospital “Evangelismos” with pulmonary edema and gastric bleeding

The military aircraft that transported him from Tirana landed in Elefsina

The Archbishop of Albania Anastasios was transferred to the “Evangelismos” hospital, who was rushed to Athens from Tirana on a C-27J aircraft of the Air Force.

The aircraft carrying Archbishop Anastasios of Albania took off from Tirana with a delay shortly after 18:30 and arrived at Elefsina Air Base at 19:34, where an ambulance was waiting to take him to the “Evangelism”.

The Archbishop of Albania will be taken over by professor of pulmonology and intensive care Anastasia Kotanidou.

The adventure with the health of Archbishop Anastasios began on December 30, with the 95-year-old hierarch being transferred to a hospital in Tirana as a precaution due to a seasonal infection.

But his health deteriorated and it was therefore decided to rush him to Athens for treatment.

According to information, Archbishop Anastasios suffered stomach bleeding and pulmonary edema.

  1. Please recover your Beatitude. World Orthodoxy needs your wisdom. If that is not the Father’s will I hope you have trained and nurtured good pastors so that your successor will be worthy of following in your footsteps. God bless your good and gentle soul.

  2. We pray that dear Archbishop ANASTASIOS will sense God’s presence every moment and that he will also know the love and prayers of his grateful Orthodox people and the many others whom he has so courageously embraced and served. Sending love from all our family.
