Such traditional events were established centuries ago in the Orthodox Church and they are as rare as they are vibrant and majestical because of the symbols and messages that they convey.&nbsp; Traditionally, after the election and enthronement of each Archbishop, the primate of the patriarchates or autocephalous Churches throughout the world, begins the fulfillment of a number of official visits, designated \u201cpeaceful\u201d in the language of the Church. These visits are made to the Patriarchal Sees of the other Orthodox Churches with the purpose of becoming more closely acquainted with the heads of the local Churches; and thus to maintain the relationship of Church unity.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Patriarchate of Alexandria, on the Nile River in Egypt, has an ancient and important history because of the role it has played in the life of Christianity.&nbsp; Founded in the first century by the Apostle of Christ, Mark, the Church of Alexandria is well-known for its famous theological school which produced many great historical figures whose theological thoughts and ideas laid the foundation for the doctrinal truths of Orthodoxy which were later confirmed by the Ecumenical Councils.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Today the Patriarchate of Alexandria oversees great missionary efforts in the continent of Africa and is symbolically linked to our Church through Archbishop Anastasios.&nbsp; Before undertaking the leadership of the restoration of the Church of Albania, His Beatitude Archbishop Anastasios carried out successful missionary work during his long pastoral activity as Metropolitan of Eastern Africa.&nbsp; His jurisdiction included the countries of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
