The exterior renovation works of the Cemetery Church of Agios Lazaros in the Holy City of Messolonghi have been completedtranslated

July 8, 2026 · 1 min read

The exterior renovation work of the Holy Cemetery Church of Saint and Righteous Lazarus, which is located in the Cemetery of the Holy City of Messolonghi and is a place of prayer, consolation and hope for the faithful, who come to honor the memory of their loved ones who have fallen asleep, was completed in the previous period. The work was carried out at the expense of the Holy Metropolis of Aetolia and Acarnania and included the external oil painting of the Holy Church, as well as the maintenance and coloring of the doors and windows, essentially contributing to the aesthetic upgrade and protection of the Holy Cemetery Church from the ravages of time.

The constant care for the decency and maintenance of the Holy Churches of our local Church is a constant priority of the Holy Metropolis, as these places are not just monuments of our ecclesiastical tradition, but living places of prayer, faith and hope, where the people of God draw strength and consolation.

Especially the Holy Church of Saint Lazarus, dedicated to the Lord's friend and harbinger of the common resurrection, reminds everyone of the resurrection message...

It looks really neat now with the fresh paint on the walls and the doors and windows all done up. Saint Lazarus church has always been such a peaceful spot in the cemetery, and it's good to see the Metropolis taking care of it like that.

The fresh paint on the doors and windows really stands out against the cemetery grounds. Saint Lazarus has been a quiet place of comfort for so many families here over the years, and it's good the Metropolis is keeping it in good repair.

Good color they chose, the windows and doors look much cleaner now. Saint Lazarus is always a quiet place there in the cemetery, I remember going there with my mother years ago. I am glad that the Diocese is taking care of it.

I agree, the color matches very well and the doors and windows are like new. Last year when I went to Messolonghi for hiking, I passed by there and I liked the quietness. Do you remember what color it was before?
