In memory of His Beatitude, Archbishop Anastasios of Tirana, Durres, and All #Albania (1929–2025), an emblematic figure of modern #Orthodox #Christianity, this documentary pays tribute to his remarkable life and legacy.As one of the most prominent intellectuals and hierarchs of the Greek Orthodox Church, Archbishop Anastasios dedicated his life to serving the “poor man of God,” the Orthodox faithful in Albania, offering them hope and dignity. His life was an extraordinary journey filled with numerous roles: the missionary who brought the word of God to the African continent, the university professor whose students listened to him with reverence, the candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, and the tireless laborer for humanity who embodied Christ’s teachings in his actions.

Despite his immense achievements, Archbishop Anastasios remained a humble priest, living a modest, ascetic life among the people he served.

This film is a heartfelt tribute to a life lived in service to God and humanity, a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.
