Chios Markos: "Everyone in our homes the Greek Flag"translated

November 9, 2026 · 1 min read

The Metropolitan of Chios, Psara and Oinoussa Mr. Markos sent a resounding message a few days before the celebrations for the 114th anniversary of the liberation of Chios from the Ottoman yoke and its union with Greece. In the context of the celebrations of the Brigades in Mesta, he invited all Chios to raise the Greek Flag in their homes.

In particular, he said: "The great National holiday of November 11 is approaching. I call on all Chios to put Greek on the balconies of our houses to prove what it means to those who ahistorically refer to our islands as Blue Homeland, what Blue Homeland means. Blue Homeland is the Homeland whose flag is blue and white and has the Cross of Christ on it. Everyone at home us the Greek Flag!
