Recordings and Eulogies from the Funeral of Fr. John Romanides (November 6, 2001)



Protopresbyter Fr. John S. Romanides, among the greatest and most influential Orthodox theologians and historians of the 20th century, reposed in the Lord on Thursday, November 1, 2001. His funeral took place on Tuesday, November 6, 2001 at the Metropolitan Church of the Annunciation to the Theotokos in Athens. Among those who attended were the following: Metropolitan Hierotheos (Vlachos) of Nafpaktos and Agiou Vlasiou (who represented Archbishop Christodoulos of Athens and All Greece), Metropolitan Panteleimon (Rodopoulos) of Tyroloi and Serention, Metropolitan Eugenios (Politis) of Hierapytna and Sitia, Bishop John (Kallos) of Amorion and formerly the Bishop of Atlanta, Protopresbyter Fr. George Metallinos and other Priests, his family (his sister and nephew were absent), as well as students and friends. The funeral was chanted by the Association of Music Lovers of Constantinople.

Below are recordings of the funeral service of Fr. John Romanides as well as recordings and translations of the eulogies from that day. Unfortunately, I am unaware of any photographs or videos from that day.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
