How nice to see that in Kalymnos they continue to celebrate the saint with so many people and with Bishop Paisios at the helm. It caught my attention that Father Cristóforo Melás was there accompanying him, it is clear that it is a living parish. I wish we had more parties like this around here.

The bishop with all those priests and a full church on a weekday—that's what a living parish looks like. Father Christoforos Melas must keep things going strong there in Pothia. We could use a few more turnout like that around here.

Yes, the presence of Bishop Paisios always gives another weight to the party. I liked that you mentioned Father Cristóforo Melás; I saw it in photos and it shows that the people of Pothia follow it closely. Here in Seville I wish we had a parish with that same vitality, although our festivals tend to be smaller. Have you ever been to Kalymnos?
