On August 5, 2013, His Beatitude, Archbishop of Tirana and All Albania, Anastasios, went to Korça for a two-day pastoral visit. The joy of some of the believers and clergy was so great that they went to wait for him a few kilometers outside of Korça. The Metropolitan of Korça, His Eminence John, together with all the clergy welcomed him at the “Resurrection of Christ” Cathedral, where the Archbishop prayed and then observed the changes that have taken place over the years. All the believers received the news of his arrival by the joyful tolling of the bells and everyone gathered in the Cathedral. The Archbishop blessed and welcomed everyone present, and said a few words about his visit to Korça.http://www.mitropoliaeshenjtekorce.com/2013/08/vizita-e-kryepiskopit-te-shqiperise.html
