Metropolitan Spartis offered a Holy Prayer to I.N. Dormition of the Virgin Magoulatranslated

August 8, 2026 · 1 min read

On the afternoon of Friday, August 7, 2026, at the Parish I.N. Assumption of the Theotokos Magoula, the Holy Invocation to the Most Holy Theotokos was performed by the preeminent of the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Monemvasia and Sparta, Mr. Efstathiou. In his speech to the reverent Christians who prayed together, the Pastor spoke about our Virgin Mary, who, having reached the highest level of holiness, is the "bridge" between Heaven and Earth.

At the same time, according to the theological teaching of Agios Nikolaos Kavasilas, Megalochari was the first perfect Human and the bright spiritual signpost for all humanity.

Concluding his melodious speech, His Holiness emphasized that no Christian should feel orphaned or alone in life, since the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of us all, who always protects, comforts and guides all who invoke her, as long as they lead a virtuous life.

Thanks for the news. I like how the Bishop mentioned St. Nicholas Kavasila - that the Mother of God is the first perfect person. It gives me courage, especially when I feel tired after work and the market. Let us all pray with confidence, but also live as we should.
