Patriarch Bartholomew's Itinerary for 2020

His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is planning on taking some major trips in 2020.On 15 December 2019,His Beatitude Metropolitan Epifaniy of Kyiv and All Ukraine announced that Patriarch Bartholomew would soon be visiting Ukraine.No specific dates were given, but it is fair to assume that the leader of world Orthodoxy will visit Ukraine to mark the first anniversary of the granting of autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine on 6 January.*
In May 2020,His All-Holiness intends to visit the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America for the first time in ten years.The trip of about ten days will reportedly include delivering an address at an Ecological Conference;a private meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House; presiding at the graduation ceremony at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology  in Brookline, Massachusetts.A visit to the Archdiocese headquarters in New York and a Divine Liturgy at St.Sophia's Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Washington,D.C. would be other logical events for Patriarch Bartholomew. *
