Eastern Orthodox leader to bestow honor on Castro

(so I guess this means he’s not dead)

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew will arrive in Cuba Wednesday to begin a visit, the first ever by the Orthodox Christian patriarch to Latin America.

Bartholomew will bestow the church’s Order of St. Andrew on Castro for his government’s construction of the new St. Nicholas Cathedral, to be consecrated by the patriarch on Jan. 25, regional church leaders said.
