    1. October 14, 2012, Metropolitan Emmanuel, Exarch of the Patriarch of Constantinople in France and President of the Assembly of Orthodox Bishops, celebrated at Notre-Dame de Paris Orthodox Vespers in honor of Dionysius the Areopagite and Saint Denis, the martyr, the first bishop of Paris. Two choirs accompanied the celebration of the Greek Orthodox Cathedral Saint-Etienne and the choir of Russian Orthodox Seminary Epinay-sous-Sénart. The Orthodox were greeted at the Notre Dame Cathedral by Bishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, Auxiliary Bishop Paris.
