Thanks for posting this. It's great that the children from Oakleigh Grammar and the Hellenic School of Dance will be carrying the flags at the memorial for St Cyprian and the other martyrs of 1821. I will be there on Sunday in North Balwyn if my health permits.

I am glad that this memorial is also being made for Cyprian and the other bishops and laymen hanged in 1821. I will try to get to North Balwyn on Sunday morning, especially as the children with the flags from Oakleigh Grammar and the Hellenic School of Dance are also coming. Thanks for letting me know.

I am glad that the children will carry the flags, it will remain in their memory. I'll see you in North Balwyn if you can, Bojana, I hope your health is good. I am going with my son, so we will stop together at the icon of Saint Cyprian after the liturgy.

Well said, Constantine. I'll try to get there on Sunday morning too, especially as the kids with the flags from Oakleigh Grammar are coming. It will be nice to see them there too.
