It’s good that so many people gathered in Katomeri for Peter and Paul. After the Liturgy, Vladyka Theophilus handed out antidoras and sweets - that’s always nice. I wonder what kind of food was served in Archikondariki after that?

Good turnout in Katomeri. Despot Theophilos, as always, gave a nice sermon and distributed antigifts and sweets. I also ask what treat they served at Archontariki, did they have any good pasteli or delicious delights?
