The Metropolitan of Petra performed the Tyranioxia of the Holy Church of the Transfiguration of Sotiros Doriostranslated

The Most Reverend Metropolitan of Petra and Herronissos, Mr. Gerasimos, performed the Thyranos and officiated at Vespers and the first Prayer Rule for this year's Fifteenth of August on the afternoon of Sunday, August 2, 2026, at the Holy Cemetery Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior of Doria. Addressing the faithful, he said: "Many congratulations are due to Fr. Apostolos, his collaborators and all those who contributed to this project, because it took a lot of effort to finish the opening of the doors of this historic Holy Church. However, what this Procession also refers us to, as well as the feast in which the Temple is celebrated, that of the Transfiguration, is the renovation of man. To renovate the whole person. In the Church many times, when we hear about the soul, we do not mean only the soul but the whole human nature, both the soul and the body. This is what the Transfiguration of the Savior calls us to do: to transform, to change and to acquire what we were created for, from being in the image to reaching in the likeness, to approach the Divinity, to become gods by grace".
After "Two Wishes", he performed trisago on his monument for a long series of years...
