81-year old Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is scheduled to return home after having a stent installed Wednesday to open up a clogged coronary artery.
NEW YORK — The spiritual leader of Eastern Orthodox Christians was recovering well in a New York hospital Thursday after a medical procedure delayed his return home to Turkey at the end of a U.S. visit, according to a doctor who treated him.
Bartholomew, 81, had been scheduled to return home Wednesday at the end of a 12-day U.S. itinerary, his first visit to the country in several years. Bartholomew's trip included a visit with President Joe Biden, meetings with Orthodox and other faith groups and a ceremonial blessing at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine near the World Trade Center, which is replacing a church that was destroyed on 9/11.
