His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros along with the entirety of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America mourn the untimely passing of Nikos Manginas, the official photographer of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

"You left too soon, Niko, but you will never leave our beloved City and Fanari, nor our Patriarch. You served them all with exemplary, effective, and sacrificial devotion. Eternal is your memory and example. Your camera’s flash may be extinguished, but your gaze lives on." - His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros.
