Happy birthday to the Reverend Mr. Astios! It's nice that the ordination of Fr. Fotios took place on the exact same day, next to Agios Dimitrios in Berati.

Happy birthday to the Reverend Mr. Astios! It's nice that the ordination of Fr. Fotios coincided on the same day, next to Agios Dimitrios. I wish that Saint Astios blesses him in his work.

Χρόνια πολλά στον Σεβασμιώτατο κ. Άστιο! Ωραίο που η χειροτονία του π. Φωτίου έγινε ακριβώς την ημέρα των ονομαστηρίων του, μέσα στον Άγιο Δημήτριο στο Μπεράτι.

Happy birthday to Agios Astios too. Indeed, the ordination of Fr. Fotios on the same day next to Agios Dimitrios added even more joy to the celebration. Some of us from Heraklion also went last year, nice atmosphere.

I agree, Fr Foti's ordination made the day even more special. Last year I was not able to go, but I heard that the atmosphere was indeed very warm. You from Heraklion went with your parish?
