In yet another sign of the normalization of relations between Athens and the Phanar, Archbishop Ieronymos paid a visit to Ecumenical Patriarch Vartholomaios in Istanbul on Monday.
According to reports, Ieronymos visited the Patriarchate to wish Vartholomaios a happy name day.
Last month Ieronymos received Vartholomaios in Athens in what was described as a visit intended to the bury the hatchet between the two spiritual leaders after a long period of strained relations.
