Thanks for sharing. It is interesting that Metropolitan John spoke about angels as those who bring heavenly messages and help renew life in Christ. And in Amarynthos, in the chapel of Archangel Michael, such protection is probably especially felt. It’s a pity that the text ends with a wish; I would like to finish reading it.

Interesting how Metropolitan Ioannis described the angels as bearers of heavenly messages. The Chapel of Archangel Michael in Amarynthos fits in really well. It's a shame that the report stops halfway through - would have liked to read the rest of Metropolitan Chrysostom's acknowledgments.

The part about angels bringing heavenly messages and helping us renew our life in Christ stuck with me too. That little chapel of the Archangel Michael in Amarynthos sounds like the perfect spot for it. Too bad the article cuts off right when the Metropolitan starts his thanks.

It's interesting that you highlight this with the heavenly messages - the Archangel Michael really fits in perfectly, especially in Amarynthos. I would also have liked to read the rest of Metropolitan Chrysostom's acknowledgments, as the text ends abruptly. Is that perhaps in another report?

It's interesting that you connect the Archangel Michael with the heavenly messages - in Amarynthos it really has a special touch, I was there myself once at the festival. Unfortunately, I didn't find Metropolitan Chrysostom's full thanks either, perhaps it will be in the next community newsletter. Have you checked out the Metropolis site yet?
