The founding memorial service for Father Georgios Davelos and Father Athanasios Bouzios made an impression on me – twenty and thirty years since they fell asleep, and they are still remembered with such honor. Saint Theodora as a mother and wife certainly has something to say to women today, as the title of the evening says. I will try to come to the vigil if I can.
