The Most Reverend Metropolitan of Rethymno and Avlopotamos, Mr. Prodromos, visited, on the afternoon of Saturday, July 4, 2026, in the Municipal Garden of Rethymno, the 12th Festival of Cretan Food, which is an institution for our country, which is co-organized by the Region of Crete-Regional Unit of Rethymno, the Municipality Rethymno and the Chamber of Rethymno.

Рада, что владыка Продромос всё-таки зашёл в субботу и обошёл все палатки. Особенно хорошо, что остановился у «Союза АГАПИ» и похвалил детей за их выступление про плоды любви — у нас в огороде тоже без любви ничего не растёт. А что за символическое действо они показали, интересно?

Dobrze, że władyka Prodromos zdążył zajrzeć w sobotę i objechał wszystkie stoiska. Najbardziej mi się podoba, że zatrzymał się przy stowarzyszeniu AGAPI i pochwalił dzieci za to przedstawienie o owocach miłości – u mnie w ogródku też bez miłości nic nie urośnie. Ciekawe, co dokładnie pokazały te dzieciaki.
