In an overcast climate, the lonely haircut of the new monk Stratigios at Agios Sozontas Fisinitranslated

In an atmosphere of deep emotion and spiritual rapture, the Holy Order of the Monk Curas took place on Friday, November 13, in the picturesque church of Agios Sozontas in Fisini, marking the official entry of the new monk Stratigios into the monastic life.

The 40-year-old university graduate left the mundane behind and assumed the recluse shape and new name, "Strategy", taking the customary vows of virginity, landlessness and obedience, in the presence of worshipers from all over Lemnos who made the pilgrimage to witness this rare and highly symbolic church ceremony.

The Holy Metropolis of Lemnos and Agios Efstratios, which had also arranged for the free movement of the faithful from Myrina and the surrounding villages to Agios Sozontas, welcomed the new member of the local monastic brotherhood, with those present wishing father Stratigio good strength and spiritual advancement in his new path.
