**ATHENS —** On Oct. 12, 2025, during the liturgy at the Athens Cathedral, Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece felt unwell and experienced a sudden loss of strength. After the service, he was taken to one of the city's hospitals for examination, reports the [Orthodoxia News Agency](https://www.orthodoxianewsagency.gr/aytokefales%5Fekklisies/ekklisia%5Fellados/sto-nosokomeio-o-arxiepiskopos-ieronymos/).

According to the report, the decision to hospitalize was made as a precaution. His Beatitude remained conscious and communicated with those around him after checking himself into the hospital; doctors promptly conducted the necessary checks and determined that he had suffered a mild ischemic stroke.

After his condition was declared as stable, the 87-year-old was discharged on Monday, Oct. 13.

The Holy Synod clarified that medical supervision is purely preventive and asked the faithful for prayerful support. The UOJ-USA staff will continue to pray for the health of His Beatitude.
