Gerontissa Timothei: How Aegina became the island of Agios Nektariostranslated

November 9, 2026 · 1 min read

Today our Church honors the memory of Agios Nektarios, bishop of Pentapolis, the miracle worker. Agios Nektarios, a very beloved Saint among the faithful, was born on October 1, 1846 in Silyvria in Eastern Thrace to godly parents. He was originally called Anastasios. He was distinguished for his morals and ecclesiastical attitude. He performed many miracles in his lifetime and continues to this day for the comfort of people.

Elder Timothei, Abbess of the Holy Monastery of the Holy Trinity, speaks inside the cell of Agios Nektarios to Maria Jahnakis and the show "Signs and People", about the time when Agios Nektarios arrived in Aegina and began the creation of the brotherhood, tracing a path full of trials, until the end of his life.
