Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew will lay the foundation stone of the first Orthodox monastery in Austria
Οι Παπικοί έδωσαν και τη γη που θα κτισθεί το Μοναστήρι.
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew will lay the foundation stone of the first Orthodox monastery in Austria
The foundation stone will be laid by the
Ecumenical Patriarch together with the Metropolitan of Austria and Exarch of
Hungary and Central Europe, Arsenios, Roman Catholic Bishop Ägidius Johann
Zsifkovics, and the governor of the Austrian state of Burgenland, Hans Peter
Doskozil. The construction work will begin at the beginning of October.
The first Orthodox monastery will be built in
Sankt Andrä am Zicksee in the Austrian federal state of Burgenland, which is
located in eastern Austria near the border with Hungary. The Roman Catholic
Bishop, Ägidius Johann Zsifkovics, granted this plot of land to the Holy
Metropolis of Austria for the construction of the monastery.
Announcing in October 2014 the founding and
forthcoming construction of the “first organized Orthodox monastery in the
region of Central Europe,” Metropolitan Arsenios said that it would be a bridge
that would unite Austria with Greece, the Catholic Church with Orthodoxy.
As he had stated in Vienna at the time, the
Metropolis wanted to establish and operate an Orthodox monastery under the
jurisdiction of the Metropolis and Exarchate from the very beginning of his
priesthood in December 2011. The Metropolitan managed to do so with the
conclusion of the donation agreement, after many months of contacts and discussions
with Bishop of Burgenland, Ägidius Johann Zsifkovics.
For the construction of the monastery, Pope
Francis had donated EUR 100,000, a check which was festively delivered by
Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian
Unity, to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Metropolitan Arsenios of Austria
in Vienna in late February 2018, as part of the celebrations for the 50th
anniversary of the Austrian Federal Law on Orthodoxy.
