Mystery of holy Euchelaiostranslated

August 4, 2026 · 1 min read

On the morning of Holy Wednesday, April 8, 2026, our Reverend Metropolitan made a pastoral visit to the General Hospital of Rhodes "Andreas Papandreou" and performed the sacrament of the holy Euchelaion. In his speech to the present doctors and nursing staff, he referred to the tradition of our Church to celebrate the Holy Sacrament on Holy Wednesday, he emphasized that it is based on the apostolic teaching, as the Apostle James says "Sick among you? invite the elders of the Church, and they added to him, anointing him with oil" (James, 5, 14), so that through prayer and the consecrated Oil the Grace of God may be transmitted for the healing of soul and body, and he expressed words of praise and thanks to the staff of the Hospital for their valuable contribution. He then visited the Hospital's clinics, anointing patients and wishing them a speedy recovery and a Happy Resurrection. The Most Holy Bishop of Olympus, Mr. Kyrillos, performed the Holy Eucharist on Wednesday afternoon at the Cathedral Church of the Annunciation of the Theotokos.
