"KD' NESTORIA" in Ierapetra, in honor of the Holy Martyr Nestortranslated

November 9, 2026 · 1 min read

The Holy Diocese of Ierapytni and Sitia in collaboration with the Municipality of Ierapetra and the "LIBYKOS" Gymnastic Association are again organizing this year's track and field competitions, the "KD' NESTORIA", in honor of the Holy Martyr Nestor, patron of athletes. The games are Pancreatic in nature and will be held on Sunday, November 15, 2026 at 4:30 p.m., at the Beach Municipal Stadium of Ierapetra, with the support of the Region of Crete.

We encourage our young people to take part in the games, striving to receive the crown of victory, following the exhortation of the Apostle Paul to his disciple Timothy "even if he sports them, he will not be crowned unless he sports legitimately" i.e. "even if one sports, he will not receive a crown of glory, if he does not sport properly".

Also, all of us must watch the above matches, in order to strengthen with our presence the young athletes of the place.
