Ephraim Kyriakos

He attended the International College in Beirut before joining the faculty of engineering of the Universite Saint Joseph (Jesuit).

He continued his studies in his specialty of electronics and communications in Paris, France before working in his field in the construction of a subway station.

The ongoing civil war in Lebanon in the 1970s caused, in 1975, the transfer of operations of the institute to the Theological Academy of Thessalonica in Greece.

In Greece, Ephraim entered the monastic community when he was tonsured a monk at the Monastery of St. Paul on Mount Athos on October 16, 1983.

On October 18, 2009 in the Marian Church Damascus he was elevated to archiepiscopacy and was received in Tripoli the following day in festivities at the Saint Georges Cathedral.

His articles include Words from the Fathers, St. Ephraim the Syrian, and The Gospel of Mark as well as those in the periodical of the Monastery of St. Michael.
