Corinthous Pavlos made a trisaio for the blessed Philippi Procopiustranslated

July 9, 2026 · 1 min read

On Wednesday, July 8, 2026, the day on which the Church honors the memory of the Holy Glorious Great Martyr Procopius, the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Corinth, Mr. Pavlos, after the end of the Divine Liturgy at the Metropolitan Chapel of Agia Photini the Samaritida in Corinth, celebrated Trisagio for the repose of the soul of his late spiritual father of the blessed Metropolitan of Philippi, Neapolis and Thassos Kyros Prokopios (Tsakoumakas). The late Mr. Prokopios held a special place in the heart of Reverend Mr. Pavlos, as he was his spiritual father and guide, contributing decisively to the course of his priestly and ecclesiastical ministry.

Early in the afternoon of the same day, His Eminence went to the 1st Cemetery of Corinth, where he performed the Holy Trisagion on the grave of his late predecessor, Metropolitan of Corinth Mr. Prokopius (Tzavara), honoring the memory of the blessed Hierarch, who served with zeal and self-denial in the Apostolic Shrine Metropolis of Corinth.

May his memory be eternal. It’s nice to see Metropolitan Paul honoring both his spiritual father, the late Prokopios of Philippi, and his predecessor here in Corinth on the same saint’s day. Two Trisagia in one afternoon shows real gratitude.

Sophia Turner

I agree, Emma. It’s touching how Metropolitan Paul chose the feast of St. Prokopios to remember both men who bore that name. The cemetery visit must have felt especially full-circle for him.

It was a nice gesture of Metropolitan Pavel to do the two Trisaghia on the very day of Saint Procopius. I remembered that both hierarchs were called Procopius, like the saint. May their memory be eternal.

Ναι, ωραία που τα έκανε και τα δύο Τρισάγια ίδια μέρα Προκοπίου. Μου έκανε εντύπωση ποη τον άγιο, σαν να κλείνει ένας κύκλος. Αιωνία τους η μνήμη.

Samuel Collins

Yeah, doing both Trisagia on St Prokopios’ day feels right. Nice that he honoured his spiritual father first after the Liturgy, then went straight to the old bishop’s grave at the A’ Cemetery in Corinth. Memory eternal for both of them.

Иван Орлов

It’s good that Bishop Paul first remembered his spiritual father after the Liturgy, and then immediately went to the cemetery to visit his predecessor. Both are Procopius, and the day of St. Procopius. Their memory is eternal.

Simona Tudor

Yes, I also liked that he chose exactly the day of St. Procopius, it seems to tie everything together more beautifully. The two hierarchs with the same name as the martyr also caught my attention, as if it were a sign of continuity. Eternal memory of them.

Matthew Scott

Yeah, doing both Trisagia right on St. Prokopios’ feast day ties everything together nicely. I noticed he honored his spiritual father first after Liturgy at the chapel of St. Photini, then drove over to the A’ Cemetery for his predecessor—two bishops with the same name as the saint. Memory eternal for both.

Sarah Evans

It struck me that both bishops shared the name Prokopios with the saint whose feast it was. Nice that Metropolitan Paul did the Trisagion for his spiritual father right after Liturgy at St Photini’s chapel, then went straight to the A’ Cemetery for his predecessor. Memory eternal for both.

Hannah Hall

Yeah, the timing on St. Prokopios’ day really ties it together nicely. I didn’t know the first Prokopios had been his spiritual father; that makes the morning Trisagion feel even more personal. Memory eternal to both.

Peter Evans

Yes, the timing on St. Prokopios’ day really ties the two hierarchs together nicely. I remember old Bishop Prokopios of Corinth from when I visited years ago; he was a tireless man, always out in the villages. Did the article mention where Metropolitan Paul’s spiritual father originally came from?

James Adams

Yes, the shared name with St Prokopios on his feast day really stood out. I liked how Metropolitan Paul went from the Liturgy at St Photini’s straight to the cemetery – it felt like one continuous act of remembrance. Memory eternal for both.
