Trisagio in memory of the blessed Metropolitan of Nubia Mr. Anthimos at Pyrgos Kyeritranslated

September 3, 2026 · 1 min read

Trisay for the repose of the soul of the blessed Metropolitan of Nubia, Mr. Anthimos (Sisco), was celebrated today, Thursday, September 3, 2026, in the morning, by the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Thessaliotidos and Phanariofersalon, Mr. Timotheus, at the Holy Church of Agios Georgios Pyrgos Kyeri, where the tomb of the late Hierarch is located. Today's prayer at the place where he rests, in the Holy Church of Agios Georgios Pyrgos Kierios, was a modest tribute to his memory and an opportunity to highlight anew the important ecclesiastical and theological path of a Hierarch who draws his origin from the area of ​​Karditsa.

Metropolitan of Nubia Mr. Anthimos (1890-1958) Anthimos Siskos was born in Pyrgos Karditsis in 1890. He graduated from the Theological School of Athens in 1922 and on December 4, 1924 he was ordained an Elder by Metropolitan Trikkis Polykarpos, receiving the office of Archimandrite.

During the first years of his priestly ministry he served as the Director of the Ecclesiastical School of Lamia (1924-1927) and then as Vicar of the Greek Church of Budapest (1927-1930).

In 1930 he went to Alexandria, where he assumed the duties of Chief Secretary of the Holy Synod.

Πολλά χρόνια πριν, όταν ήμουν νέος, είχα ακούσει για τον Άνθιμο Σίσκο από έναν παππά από την Καρδίτσα. Χαίρομαι που ο Μητροπολίτης Τιμόθεος πήγε και έκανε Τρισάγιο στον τάφο του στον Άγιο Γεώργιο Πύργου Κιερίου. Είναι καλό να θυμόμαστε αυτούς τους ανθρώπους που ξεκίνησαν από τα χωριά μας και έφτασαν μέχρι την Αλεξάνδρεια.

Yes, I remember that name from years back too — the priest from Karditsa who mentioned him had served in Lamia for a while. Good to see Metropolitan Timotheos keeping the Trisagion at St George in Pyrgos Kieriou right by the tomb; it’s a proper way to honour someone who actually came from round there.
