Hieromonk Bartholomew, associated with the Patriarchal Exarchate of Patmos and the Holy Monastery of Saint John the Theologian, spoke during the show 'Reportaz Tora' to journalist Andreas Karagiannis about his personal connection with the artist.

The acquaintance between the two began in 2016 during the singer's summer visits to the island of Patmos. According to the monk, Mazonakis frequently visited the Holy Cave of the Apocalypse and the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian.

No further developments or actions were reported following these statements, as the story focuses on the public sharing of this long-standing spiritual relationship.
