You got it ? Great. That must have taken some work or persuasion to find capable translators.
Can you post the documents here as well ?
Seems they should be available for all members and
researchers to study here as well as your blog ? Thanks for your diligent work, Jean-Serge !
The translation is now available at this link:
Priidite, poklonimsja i pripadem ko Hristu.
From what you have posted, Jean Serge, it appears that the late Met. Cyprian was deposed for causing a rupture in the GOC by creating his own Synod of Resistance. Apparently, some years prior to his incapacitating illness, coma, and death, Met. Cyprian had expressed a wish to be reunited with GOC, and this was honored posthumously when Met. Kallistos and other hierarchs conducted a ceremony at his grave site.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

I suppose the issue at hand is whether a posthumous rehabilitation is possible at all in Orthodoxy; my impression is not and that Met Cyprian must have joined the GOC again before his death. I'm not aware of any clarification on that matter, but if anyone has information it would be welcome. Possibly there is something about it in Greek.
Again, please try to refrain from polemical comments in this thread; polemical posts will be split off to the private forum.
I was told that before dying or having his stroke, he asked his people to reconciliate with GOC-K and this was interpreted as repentance. My source is a priest who talked to another priest in Greek. But as you see, one month ago, they announced a clarification and a new translation and there is still nothing, no promised date etc. So I wonder what is really available in Greek or not.
