Following the Mass for the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Pope Leo XIV descended to the tomb of St. Peter alongside Metropolitan Emmanuel Adamakis of Chalcedon, who was sent to Rome by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to represent the Orthodox Church for the annual celebration.
Earlier in the liturgy, Pope Leo blessed and imposed the pallia—white woolen bands bestowed upon 35 newly appointed metropolitan archbishops as signs of their communion with the Successor of Peter and their mission to shepherd Christ's flock.
Greeting the Orthodox delegation, Pope Leo called Patriarch Bartholomew his "dear brother" and prayed that Saints Peter and Paul "may sustain us on our journey of communion in the footsteps of the Savior." Their shared prayer at the Apostle's tomb stands as a powerful witness to the Catholic and Orthodox Churches' continuing commitment to seek the unity for which Christ prayed: "that they may all be one."
