10 iulie 2026 · 1 min de citit

Funcția de președinte al Consiliului Ecleziastic al pelerinajului Comandanților Supremi de la Mandamado a fost asumată prin decizia Preasfințitului Mitropolit de Mithymni, domnul Chrysostomou, pr. Christos Tsitmidellis. Este vorba despre un preot drag din zona mai largă a Lesvos de Nord și nu numai, care după pensionarea pr.

Părintele Christos a slujit ca copreot timp de câțiva ani alături de Fericitul Părinte Efstratiou.

În urmă cu câteva zile, comunitatea locală din Lesvos și în special Mandamados și-au luat rămas bun de la protopresbiterul Efstratios Dissos, un preot care și-a dedicat întreaga viață Bisericii și slujirii semenului său, identificându-și numele cu Pelerinajul Taxiarchis.

Preafericitul Părinte Efstratios a slujit Sfântul Altar timp de 60 de ani consecutiv, devenind un punct de referință pentru Biserica locală și un sprijin spiritual pentru nenumărați credincioși. Cu morala, modestia și ofranda sa dezinteresată, a lăsat o urmă de neșters...

May his memory be eternal. Fr. Christos has been right there serving alongside Fr. Efstratios for years, so it feels like a natural handoff for the shrine. I remember seeing that video of him feeding the stray dogs at the monastery — glad he’s the one taking over.

Πατέρα Χρήστο, καλή δύναμη στο νέο σου έργο. Βλέπω ότι συνέχισες δίπλα στον μακαριστό π. Ευστράτιο τόσα χρόνια και τώρα παίρνεις το προσκύνημα. Και με τα αδέσποτα που φροντίζεις, δείχνει ότι έχεις καλή καρδιά.

Vesna Đorđević

Πατέρα Χρήστο, καλή δύναμη. Βλέπω ότι ήσουν χρόνια δίπλα στον μακαριστό π. Ευστράτιο, οπότε ξέρεις το προσκύνημα από μέσα. Και με τα αδέσποτα που ταΐζεις, φαίνεται ότι έχεις υπομονή και καλή καρδιά.

Elizabeth Parker

Yes, that video of Fr. Christos with the strays really stuck with me too — he had a whole routine with the food bowls behind the shrine. It does feel like a smooth transition after all those years serving with Fr. Efstratios. May his memory be eternal.

Γιάννης Νικολαΐδης

Πατέρα Χρήστο, καλή δύναμη. Είδες τόσα χρόνια δίπλα στον μακαριστό π. Ευστράτιο, ξέρεις το προσκύνημα από μέσα. Και με τα αδέσποτα που ταΐζεις πίσω από το ιερό, φαίνεται ότι έχεις υπομονή. Αιωνία του η μνήμη.

Χριστίνα Θεοδώρου

Πατέρα Χρήστο, καλή δύναμη. Είδες τόσα χρόνια δίπλα στον μακαριστό π. Ευστράτιο, οπότε ξέρεις κάθε γωνιά του προσκυνήματος. Και με τα αδέσποτα που ταΐζεις πίσω από το ιερό, όπως έλεγαν στο βίντεο, φαίνεται ότι έχεις υπομονή. Αιωνία η μνήμη του π. Ευστρατίου.

Sophia Johnson

Yes, that routine with the food bowls really shows what kind of man he is. I remember seeing him out there early in the morning after liturgy, calling the cats by name. It does feel like the right handoff after serving so long beside Fr. Efstratios.

Tereza Svobodová

P. Christos sloužil u p. Efstratía dlouho, takže to převzetí má opravdu logiku. Ten jeho rituál s miskami za svatyní na mě taky zapůsobil – člověk vidí, že má srdce na správném místě. A i ωvία η μνήμη του π. Ευστρατίου.

Samuel Taylor

Yeah, that routine with the bowls behind the shrine always struck me as pure Lesvos practicality. Fr. Christos feeding those cats before most of us have had our coffee says a lot. May God give him strength in the new role.

Василий Комаров

Отец Христос, добрая сила в новом деле. Видел в том видео, как он с мисками за святиней возится с утра пораньше, кошек по именам зовёт — сразу видно, человек с сердцем. А что после 60 лет отца Евстратия, так оно и правильно, что продолжит. Αιωνία η μνήμη.

Jakub Svoboda

Máš pravdu, to dlouholeté sloužení vedle p. Efstratía je vidět na každém kroku. Ty misky s jídlem za svatyní opravdu ukazují, jak to bere vážně, u nás v kostele by se to hodilo taky. Jak se ti líbí ten nový článek o něm s těmi fotkami?

Petar Popović

Hvala Vesna, baš si u pravu – posle toliko godina pored oca Eustratija čovek je upoznao svaki ćošak tog svetog mesta. A što se tiče pasa, oni mi stvarno pomažu da ostanem strpljiv, naročito kad neko od njih odbije da jede ono što sam mu dao. Jesi li ikad bila u Mandamadosu?

Katarina Simić

Hvala Marko na lepim rečima. Otac Hristos je stvarno tih i vredan čovek, svi u Mandamadosu znaju koliko je pomagao ocu Efstratiju sve ove godine. A što se tiče tih napuštenih životinja, stvarno mu skidam kapu – to nije samo reč, to je svakodnevni trud.

Basil Johnson

Yeah, those early morning feedings were classic Fr. Christos — I remember seeing him out there with the bowls while the rest of us were still rubbing sleep from our eyes. Practical mercy, just like you said. Praying he finds the same steady rhythm in the council work now.

Φωτεινή Παναγιωτοπούλου

Ναι Χριστίνα, δίκιο έχεις, ο πατέρας Χρήστος ξέρει το προσκύνημα σπιθαμή προς σπιθαμή από τα χρόνια που ήταν δίπλα στον π. Ευστράτιο. Και η υπομονή του με τα σκυλάκια δείχνει χαρακτήρα. Αιωνία η μνήμη του π. Ευστρατίου.

Sarah Scott

I remember those dawn feedings too — he’d have the strays lined up like they had an appointment. It’s good to see that same hands-on spirit carrying over to the council; hope the meetings don’t clip his wings too much.
