October 18, 2026 · 1 min read

Today, October 18, our Church honors the memory of the Apostle and Evangelist Luke, author of the Gospel of the same name, but also of the book of the Acts of the Apostles. Saint Luke is particularly honored by Thebes, where his tomb is also located. Pemptousia TV and Journalist Dimitris Stroumbakos were in Thebes and spoke with Protopresbyter Fr Spyridon Vasilakos, Vicar of the Holy Pilgrimage Church of the Saint located at the southeast end of the city. Father Spyridon talks about the founder of the Boeotian Church but also about his relationship with the city as well as about the miracles that still exist today.
