July 19, 2026 · 1 min read

On the occasion of the feast of Agios Emilianos in the eponymous holy chapel in Eretria, on the eve of the feast, the vespers was held, which was celebrated by retired Elders Kyriakos Dimitrios and Zisis Ioannis Fourmouzis, vicar of the holy church of Agios Nikolaos, patron of the city of Eretria. After Vespers, the litany of the icon and the holy relic of Agios Emilianos followed around the holy church. On the occasion of the holiday, fathers Kyriakos and Zisis - Ioannis addressed their festive wishes to the honorable and friendly builder of the holy chapel Mr. Emilianos Boro and his pious family on the occasion of his name day.

On the main day of the feast, the Divine Liturgy was celebrated by the retired Elder Kyriakos Dimitrios.

The children of the builder of the holy chapel Sotirios and Eleftheria Borou and other pious believers from Eretria also participated in the divine service.

Yes, Father Kyriakos was everywhere, he also celebrated vespers and Mass. I'm glad the Borrow family took such care of the chapel, it's nice to see such continuity. May Saint Emilian protect them all.

I agree, Father Kyriakos showed a real attitude. I also saw Zisis Fourmouzis next to him, they worked well together. May the Holy One give strength to Mr. Boro to continue his work.

Yes, Father Kyriakos did do everything with gusto. I also saw Mr. Boro's children, Sotirios and Eleftheria, standing next to him at the Liturgy; nice to see such family continuity.

Yes, Father Kyriakos did do almost everything by himself. I'm also glad that the Boru family keeps the chapel so clean and well-kept, I remember last year when we went to Eretria how beautiful everything was. May the Saint bless them.

Yes, Father Kyriakos did do almost everything by himself, I saw it too. It's good that the Borou family keeps it so clean, last year when I drove through Eretria I also stopped a bit and was impressed. May the Saint bless them all.
