Dear Brother Archons,

The Archon office was recently notified about the sad news of the passing of Archon Anastasios E. Manessis, Archon Megas Depoutatos, of New York, NY who fell asleep in the Lord on January 26, 2023. Archon Manessis, a longtime member of the Order and former Vice Commander served his Church, and the Ecumenical Patriarchate with dignity, Christian love and firm commitment that have kept our Hellenic heritage and Orthodox faith strong and firm. He was invested as an Archon on March 23, 1975.

On behalf of the Order of Saint Andrew, Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate we express our deep sympathy to his wife Kiki, their children and their respective families with abiding faith in our Lord and Savior and with hope in His resurrection!

Ζωή σε σας... Ζωή σε μας...
