We remember Archbishop Anastasios of Albania, a true pillar of faith, love, and service, who passed away last week at the age of 95. His life was dedicated to the revival of the Orthodox Church in Albania, missionary work, interfaith dialogue, and theological scholarship.

He is described as “a candle casting light on the icon of Christ”. He was a symbol for an entire generation, and a gifted scholar, a humble servant, and a prophetic preacher. His contributions to the Orthodox Church and to the people of Albania will be long remembered.
