Baptism again after 30 years in Tenedostranslated
It's been thirty whole years since the last time Tenedos had moments like last Sunday (20/9) when the child of a mixed couple (the mother is Turkish, the father is of Greek origin) baptized their 20-month-old son. The holy sacrament took place in the Holy Church of the Dormition of the Virgin and gathered both members of the Roman Community and Turks. According to canakkalekalem.com, in 2024 Filiz Bahar and Costa Saltou, who is the Municipal Councilor of Tenedou, decided to get married, an event that brought the island's residents closer together.
According to the same local media in Turkey, the sacrament of Baptism had to be performed in Tenedos since 1996, i.e. 30 years ago.
The neophyte received the name Simeon with Greeks and Turks wishing him to live.
The post Baptism again after 30 years in Tenedos appeared first on Orthodoxy News Agency.
