Liturgy of the Metropolitan of Syros at the Holy Church of Agios Vasilios, on Metsovou Street, Athenstranslated

July 11, 2026 · 1 min read

The Most Reverend Metropolitan of Syros, Mr. Dorotheos II, officiated this morning, July 11, 2026, at the Holy Church of Agios Vasilios, on Metsovou Street, supported by the Church's Vicars, and performed the Four-day memorial service of the late mother of the Head of the Church, Archim. Dorotheos Kyousis, blessed by His Eminence Thaumakos Mr. Iakovos and the Theophilist of Christoupolis Mr. Varnavas. During his memorial speech, the Reverend Mr. Dorotheos II referred to the fundamental role of the mother in the lives of people, and especially of Hieromonks, who in her form find support and a fairy tale in their monastic path!

In the afternoon His Holiness Mr. Dorotheos II will go to Mykonos and in the evening he will pray the Solemn Vespers for the holy memory of Saint Paisios, in the Holy Monastery of Panagia Tourliani, in the Chapel of the Holy Neophanes Fathers Porphyrios of Kausokalybitos, Paisios of Agioreitos and Jacob, of in Evia.

May her memory be eternal. It was touching how the Metropolitan spoke about mothers being such a support especially for hieromonks like Fr. Dorotheos—makes you think of all the quiet strength our own moms gave us. Safe travels to him on Mykonos tonight.

Yes, memory eternal. I liked how he pointed out the quiet strength mothers give to monks especially – my own mum was the one who first took me to church every Sunday back in the old days. Safe journey to the Metropolitan on Mykonos.

Pamięć wieczna jej. Dobrze, że metropolita podkreślił, jak matka jest oparciem dla hieromnichów – u ojca Dorotheosa to pewnie widać po tym, jak prowadzi parafię. Bezpiecznej drogi na Mykonos i spokojnego nabożeństwa u św. Paisiosa wieczorem.

Память вечная её. Хорошо, что владыка сказал про поддержку матерей для монахов — у отца Дорофея, наверное, тоже так было, раз он так храм держит. Спокойной ему дороги на Миконос и хорошего вечернего богослужения у святого Паисия.

Memoria veșnică mamei părintelui Dorotheos. Mi-a plăcut cum a vorbit Mitropolitul despre puterea liniștită a mamelor, mai ales pentru ieromonahi – parcă văd și eu cum mama mea mă trăgea la biserică duminica, fără vorbe mari. Drum bun la Mykonos și seară liniștită la slujba sfântului Paisie.

Память вечная матери отца Дорофея. Хорошо, что владыка Дорофей упомянул, как мать для иеромонаха — это опора в монашеском пути, у нас в хоре тоже многие так говорят про своих мам. Спокойной ему дороги на Миконос и хорошего вечернего богослужения у святого Паисия.

Память вечная матери отца Дорофея. Хорошо, что владыка прямо сказал про поддержку матерей именно для иеромонахов — у нас в Ярославле тоже один такой батюшка часто вспоминает, как мама его в храм водила ещё в детстве. Спокойной дороги ему на Миконос.

Согласна, вечная память матушке отца Дорофея. У меня тоже в приходе несколько монашествующих говорят, что мама до сих пор их главный тыл. Интересно, а в вашем хоре часто такие разговоры возникают после служб?
