On the afternoon of Sunday, August 2, 2026, at the Holy Monastery of Kastri in Taygetos, the first Holy Invocation to the Most Holy Theotokos was performed by the Reverend Metropolitan of Monemvasia and Sparta Mr. Efstathios. Concluding the evening devotional gathering, the Pastor referred to the Mother of God and Mother of us all, the Most Holy Theotokos, who always stands by us to comfort us, reassure us and guide us, as long as we, on our part, try to embrace the "life in Christ" from which real spiritual fullness springs.

Concluding, he urged the devout pilgrims to make spiritual use of this blessed period dedicated to our Virgin Mary.
