Solemn Vespers of Saint Christina in Lagouta...translated

July 24, 2026 · 1 min read

On Thursday, July 23, Rev. Our Metropolitan Mr. Andreas went to Lagouta Monofatsiou, where he celebrated the solemn Vespers of Saint Christina the Great Martyr in the eponymous Holy Church. The divine word was preached by the Protopr. Theologian and Doctor, Fr. Antonios Patrikiou, from Thessaloniki, who referred theologically to the Life and miracles performed by the Great Martyr Christina. Before the dismissal, our respected Pastor appointed the vicar of the parish, Father Michael Karakostandakis, as Steward. Finally, he blessed the offered breads, thanked Fr. Antonio for his beautiful and theological speech and wished the vicar to be worthy.

Christopher ScottThe bishop ordaining Fr. Michael as Oikonomos right there in Lagouta makes sense — he’s been quietly holding that little parish together for years. Fr. Antonios’ talk on St. Christina’s life and miracles must have been worth the trip from Thessaloniki; I always appreciate when a priest who’s also a doctor brings that practical eye to the saints’ lives. Nice quiet feast.
