Syros: Impressive representation of the naming of Ermoupolistranslated

July 13, 2026 · 1 min read

In the forecourt of the Holy Church of the Transfiguration of Hermoupolis, the anniversary event titled "ERMOUPOLIN!" was held with great success yesterday, which was organized by the Greek Greek High School of Syros and included a theatrical journey through time, bringing to life the great historical meeting of the first settlers in 1826, exactly in the same forecourt, where the name of the city was decided.

The historical role of Metropolitan Sophronios Bistis was performed by His Holiness Mr. Dorotheos II, who had previously performed a special doxological prayer inside the Holy Church.

During the ceremony, the eulogy of the day was delivered by Aidesimol with his characteristic elegance and historical depth. Protopr. Emmanuel Syrigos, who, emotionally charged, referred to the events and people of that time.

As part of the event, the President of the Lyceum of Greek Women of Syros Mrs. Irini Dekavalla placed a wreath on the bust of the Teacher of the Genus Anthimos Gazis and raised the historical flag of the Fishermen's Revolution on the central mast of the Church.

Lepo je to što su oživeli onu skupštinu iz 1826. baš na istom mestu. Mitropolit Dorotej je lepo odigrao ulogu Sofronija Bisti, a sveštenik Sirigos je uvek dobar kad priča o starim vremenima. Eto, bar su podigli zastavu sa Psare, to mi je bilo posebno zanimljivo.

Καλά έκαναν και το έστησαν πάλι στο προαύλιο του Μεταμορφώσεως, ακριβώς εκεί που έγινε η συνέλευση. Μου άρεσε που ο Δωρόθεος έπαιξε τον Σωφρόνιο Μπίστη, και η σημαία των Ψαρών που ύψωσε η Δεκαβάλλα ήταν ωραία λεπτομέρεια. Ο Συρίγος πάντα τα λέει με ψυχή, το ξέρουμε.

Da, baš je lepo što su to uradili na istom mestu gde se nekad skupština održala. Meni je najzanimljivije bilo što je mitropolit Dorotej lično igrao Sofronija – to daje neku težinu. Jesi li video snimak podizanja zastave sa Psare, kako je izgledalo uživo?

Da, baš je lepo što su izabrali isto dvorište crkve, čovek može da zamisli kako je to izgledalo 1826. Meni je najviše ostala u pameti ona zastava sa Psare – kad je Irini podigla, vetar ju je tako lepo razvio da se čulo samo „uh“ od sveta. Jesi li ti nekad bio na Psarima, da vidiš odakle im ta zastava?

Da, baš je lepo što su sve to uradili na istom mestu, to stvarno povezuje prošlost i sadašnjost. Dorotej kao Sofronije je bio dobar potez, čovek ima autoritet. Snimak zastave nisam gledao, kako je izgledalo uživo, je l' se vijorila kako treba na vetru?
