09 — Glorification and Legacy
The Ecumenical Patriarchate’s glorification of Amphilochios in 2018, with the feast appointed for 16 April; and a sober assessment of his legacy — the convents, the spiritual children, the missionary reach, and the ecological witness.
Tradition: Greek Orthodox (20th-c. elder; Ecumenical Patriarchate)
This closing section treats the formal recognition of Amphilochios as a saint and the weighing of his significance. The first file sets out the glorification of 2018 and the feast. The second offers a sober, provisional assessment of his legacy — what he left, why he is venerated, and where the honest limits of the claims lie for a saint glorified within living memory.
