- "The holy patriarch-martyr was hanged over the door to the Phanarion and later his body was thrown into the Bosphoros. Ukrainian sailors retrieved his body, thinking him to have been a priest martyred by the Turks. At Odesa, he was positively identified as the patriarch and enshrined there until his glorification as a sainted hieromartyr and return to Athens where he is now enshrined. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church has placed his name in its own calendar, especially owing to his great veneration by Ukrainians. The translation of his relics took place on 25/4/1871."[23]
- On the occasion of the two hundred years since the martyrdom of Patriarch Gregory I on 10 April 1821, with the recommendation of the Accompanying Committee on Legal and Doctrinal Issues, and on the proposals of the Most Reverend Metropolitans Chrysostomos of Patras, Theophilos of Lefkados and Ithaca, and Markos of Chios, Psara and Oinousses, the Permanent Holy Synod of the Church of Greece decided to inscribe in the hagiological lists of the church seven other hierarchs who were arrested together with Patriarch Gregory V on the same day, and were subsequently hanged, confessing the faith.[24][25]
