High Priest Divine Liturgy at the Holy Church of Zoodochos Pigi Larissatranslated

September 1, 2026 · 1 min read

At the Holy Church of Zoodochos Pigis, in the Tabakika district of Larissa, the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Larissa and Tyrnavos, Mr. Ieronymos, officiated today during Lent and celebrated the Divine Liturgy. Despite the high temperatures still prevailing in the area of ​​Larissa, there were many who rushed to church and filled the Holy Church with their prayerful presence and their love for the Church.

In his sermon, His Holiness, taking occasion from the Gospel passage, but also from the fact that today is the Feast of the beheading of the Holy Head of the Holy Glorious Prophet John the Baptist, referred to the behavior of the people, emphasizing the attitude of the bad farmers, as well as Herod's companions, who either sought evil or did not nothing to stop it, compromising in the expectation of their own benefit.

Благословен да је владика Јеронимус. И код нас је ових дана велика врућина, па ипак народ дође у цркву. Добро је што је подсетио на те „зле виноградаре“ и Иродове госте – нико на крају није добио ништа, а душу изгубише. Хвала Богу што се још држимо службе.

U nás v Brně taky pořád drží ta vedra, ale lidi přijdou, když je služba. Ten příklad se zlými vinaři a Herodovými hosty mě dostal, protože opravdu nikdo nic nezíská a duši si pokazí. Děkuju za přepis kázání, vladyko Jeronýme.

The heat in Larissa sounds rough, but it's good so many still filled the church for the Divine Liturgy. I liked how the bishop tied the bad farmers from the Gospel right to Herod's guests—both chasing short-term gain and losing everything that matters. We had similar turnout here last week even with the humidity.

La fel e și la noi în Craiova, chiar cu arșița asta mare, lumea tot vine la slujbă. Mi-a plăcut cum a legat vlădica pilda cu viile rele de oaspeții lui Irod – într-adevăr, nimeni nu câștigă nimic și sufletul e cel care pierde. Mulțumesc lui Dumnezeu că încă ne ține aproape de biserică.

The heat in Larissa must have been brutal, yet the church still filled up just like it does here in Portland when it's over 90. I appreciated how Bishop Ieronymos connected the bad farmers in the Gospel straight to Herod's guests—both chasing some quick gain and ending up with nothing but harm to the soul. It makes you think twice before staying quiet when something's wrong.
