THE FESTIVAL OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE MOTHER OF GOD IN SIMI 2026translated

August 16, 2026 · 1 min read

Symi, together with the entire Orthodox world, celebrated the Feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, the Ephorus and Protector of our Nation, with great splendor and special brilliance. Crowds of believers flocked all the days of the Fifteenth of August to the picturesque churches and the unique chapels of our island, which are dedicated to Her Grace, to praise and glorify the Great Mother, the support and refuge of our souls, affirming once more the deep faith of the Greek, the faith that supported him in every difficult moment and helped him to face and overcome in a miraculous way difficulties and obstacles, humanly insurmountable.
