Before departing from Rome, Orthodox and Catholic faithful participating in the “From Rome to New Rome” pilgrimage made one last stop in the City of Seven Hills: Orthodox Church of Saint Theodore at the Palatine Hill, the only Greek Orthodox parish in the city. Originally built in the 6th century, the church was given to the Greek Orthodox community in Rome by Pope John Paul II.
