High priest's Vespers and inauguration of a small Repository in the Paleokastro Monastery of Mykonostranslated

September 3, 2026 · 1 min read

The Venerable Metropolitan of Syros Mr. Dorotheos II presided tonight at the solemn Vespers at the Cemetery Church of Agios Mamados, of the Holy Monastery of Palaiokastro, in Ano Mera Mykonos, in the presence of the Member of Parliament Ms. Ekaterinis Monogyiou, the President of the Brotherhood of Anomerites of Mykonos and many believers.

After the end of the Service, His Eminence performed the inauguration of a small Reliquary in the Holy Monastery of Paleokastro, which was designed and edited by the High Priestly Commissioner of Ano Meras and Paleokastro, Protopr. Vasilios Tzanidakis, and in which objects of ecclesiastical and popular art are exhibited.

The Reverend Mr. Dorotheos II was addressed with complimentary words by the Protopr. Vasilios Tzanidakis.

In his brief homily, His Holiness congratulated Father Basilio for his initiative to collect and save sacred objects and utilitarian objects of past times, projecting the past into the present and extending it into the future, so that posterity can maintain their link with the traditions of their place.

Хорошо, что отец Василий собрал и сохранил эти старые церковные вещи и предметы быта. Теперь в монастыре можно своими глазами увидеть, как жили раньше на Миконосе. Спасибо митрополиту Дорофею, что поддержал.

Добро е што отец Василиј ги собрал тие стари црковни предмети и алати од поранешните времиња. Сега на Миконос луѓето можат да видат како се живеело и молело во минатото. Благословен труд, нека му е на помош.

I agree, Peter, Father Vasily did well for not letting things just go to waste. It is especially interesting to look at old icons and utensils - you can immediately imagine how the grandmothers in Anomeria used them. Were you at the opening or just saw it from the photos?

I'm glad the things weren't lost, Peter. In our Sunday school we tell children about such ancient objects so that they don’t forget how they used to live. Are you from Mykonos yourself or do you just follow the news?
