The heart of Evros beat in the Dadia Monasterytranslated

September 8, 2026 · 1 min read

Under the mighty cover of our Virgin Mary, over time, the akrites of Evros resort, who as a "Mighty General" is the protector of the borders of our Motherland, who covers and guides Her faithful people, at the same time giving them the strength to face trials with patience and to keep the hope of faith in their souls unquenchable. Honoring Her holy face, every year, on these days the heart of the unspoiled Evros beats in the Forest of Dadia, world famous for its unique flora and unique fauna, in the idyllic natural environment of which stands the historic Monastery of Dadia, as a spiritual beacon, where on September 8, the day of the Feast of the Nativity of the Virgin, devout Christians from the entire wider area of Evros flock to this holy place to worship the efesto, miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary.

This year, the celebration of the Holy Monastery had a particularly topical symbolism as the proceedings of the 2nd Interdisciplinary Environmental Conference, recently organized by the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece, with the theme "Climate resilience, local development, national sustainability - From the natural...

The article cuts off right at the environmental conference, but I liked reading about the Theotokos as the protector of the Evros border guards all these years. That monastery in the Dadia forest sounds like a real peaceful spot with all the birds and trees around it. Makes me want to knit a scarf while watching my feeder, thinking of those pilgrims gathering there every September 8th.

Да, лес в Дадии и правда особенный, я читал, что там даже грифы живут, которых мало где увидишь. Интересно, как монастырь стоит прямо посреди этой природы и собирает людей на праздник Рождества Богородицы. Жалко, что статья обрезалась на конференции, хотелось бы узнать, что там говорили про климат и монастыри.

Το άρθρο κόπηκε ακριβώς στο συνέδριο για την κλιματική ανθεκτικότητα, κρίμα. Πάντως η Παναγία σαν Υπέρμαχος Στρατηγός των συνόρων του Έβρου είναι κάτι που το βλέπω κάθε φορά που περνάω από εκεί με το φορτηγό· το μοναστήρι μέσα στο δάσος της Δαδιάς με τα όρνια και τα πεύκα είναι όντως ήσυχο μέρος. Φέτος δεν μπόρεσα να πάω στην πανήγυρη της 8ης Σεπτέμβρη, αλλά ελπίζω του χρόνου να προλάβω.

Да, лес в Дадии и правда особенный, особенно с этими грифами, которых Георгий упомянул. У нас в Сибири тоже такие заповедные места есть, где природа вокруг храма помогает сосредоточиться. Жалко, что статья оборвалась на конференции, хотелось бы почитать, как они там связали климат и веру.
