August 6, 2026 · 1 min read

The Despotic Feast of the Transfiguration of Christ the Savior was celebrated with due splendor and exuberant participation of believers in Emporio of Santorini. The Most Reverend Metropolitan of Thira, Amorgos & Islands, Mr. Amfilochios, officiated at Orthros and officiated at the celebratory Holy Church of the Transfiguration of Christ the Saviour, supported by Rev. General Hierarchal Commissioner of the Holy Metropolis and Priestly Head of the Parish of Emporio, Protopresbyter Fr. Nikolaos Sigalas, Rev. ambassador Fr.

In his sermon, His Holiness referred to the great event of the Divine Transfiguration that took place on Mount Taborio and interpreted the feast in the teaching and theology of our holy Church.

At the end of the Divine Liturgy, according to custom, the fruits of the vine were blessed and - after the litany of the holy icon in the traditional settlement - the offered food.
