Universally and in a climate of spiritual harmony, the Synagogue of all the Saints who shined in Limnos was celebrated on our unspoiled island, with the center of attention being the Holy Metropolitan Church of Panagia Triados Myrinis, which, both in the evening and on the day of the feast, was flooded by believers of all ages, responding to the call of the Local Church for a spiritual supply and rendering of the due honor to those hierarchical, martyr and sacrificial figures, who at times sanctified the place, worked miracles and supported our forefathers in the faith of Christ, so that the historical island of the Archipelago, is not only overshadowed, according to Sophocles, by Athos, but also guarded for centuries by his Saints.

After Vespers, there was no procession, they just worshiped until late, but maybe next year they will do one.

Yes, I also noticed that the relics of Saint Sozontos were placed in front, as they deserve, being the protector of the island for so long. I thought it was nice that the young people came with their children, not just the old people; after Vespers, I also stayed in worship until late and it gave me peace. Do you think they could organize a small procession around the cathedral next year?

Ioana Popa

Yes, I too saw the relics of Saint Sozontos in place of honor, right in front, as befits the protector of the island. I also liked that many young people came with children, not just old people; after Vespers, I also sat in worship and felt a real peace. Next year a small procession around the cathedral would be good, I think it would attract even more people from Myrina.
