Dimitriados Ignatios: "The familiarity with violence is a danger" - Archpriest Cleric in Kortsatranslated

July 5, 2026 · 1 min read

A High Priestly Liturgy was held today, Sunday, July 5, 2026, at the Holy Church of the Resurrection of Christ of Korytsas, the preeminent of His Eminence Metropolitan Demetrias and Almyros, Mr. Ignatiou, co-officiating with the local Pastor, His Eminence Metropolitan of Korytsas, Mr. Anastasiou. His Eminence Metropolitan Mr. Ignatios was accompanied by thirty-six (36) doctors of the "Health Care Services of Love" of the Holy Metropolis of Dimitrias and Almyros, who, during their three-day stay in Koritsa, performed more than 1,500 free preventive medical examinations, offering valuable services to the residents of the area.

In his sermon, His Eminence expressed his joy and emotion for his presence in Korça, stressing that the visit of the mission takes place in a climate of resurrection joy and fraternal unity.

As he characteristically mentioned, "we are indeed living resurrection moments", as the Church of Albania is a living testimony of the power of the Resurrection of Christ, having been reborn through difficult historical trials.

On the occasion of the Gospel passage about the demon-possessed people of Gergesene, His Holiness pointed out...

The "Ministry of Health of Love" in Dimitrias really shows how the Church makes love practical—last fall our St. Nicholas parish health fair had 20 volunteers, but 36 doctors doing 1,500 checkups? That’s serious ministry.

То што је 36 доктора за три дана урадило преко 1500 прегледа је за сваку похвалу. Код нас у Новом Саду смо прошле године имали сличну акцију у парохији, али са много мање лекара и мање прегледа. Лепо је видети да Црква не прича само о љубави, него је и конкретно показује.

У нас в Ростове тоже пару лет назад приезжали врачи из греческой епархии, делали бесплатные осмотры в одном храме. 36 врачей за три дня — это серьёзно, больше полутора тысяч человек обслужили. Интересно, как они потом с теми, кому лечение нужно, дальше работали?

Слажем се, Зоране, 1500 прегледа за три дана није мала ствар. Код нас у Бањој Луци смо имали сличну акцију прошле јесени, али смо стигли до око 400 прегледа са десетак лекара. Питам те, како сте ви то организовали у Новом Саду, да ли су људи сами долазили или сте ишли по селима?

Our parish in Ottawa once hosted a smaller team from Greece for a one-day clinic and we managed maybe 180 checks. 36 doctors knocking out 1,500 in three days up in Korçë is on another level. Makes you wonder how they coordinated the follow-up for folks who needed more treatment, like Екатерина asked.

То је баш леп пример како се љубав претвара у дело, Зоране. Код нас у Крагујевцу смо прошле године имали акцију са десетак лекара, али нисмо стигли ни близу тих бројева – углавном зато што смо се ограничили само на градску парохију. Је ли код вас у Новом Саду било тешко окупити толико лекара или се сами јављају?

У нас в Краснодаре тоже пару раз такие бригады из Греции приезжали, но не в таком масштабе. Интересно, что дальше с пациентами было — наверное, местные врачи в Корице потом продолжали, или хотя бы направление давали. А в Ростове как, люди потом сами к греческим докторам в Грецию ездили?

Kod nas u Nišu se lekari uglavnom sami jave kad čuju da idemo van parohije, pa nije bilo teško okupiti ih. Baš lepo što ste probali u Kragujevcu, makar i u manjem obimu – svaka akcija se računa. Jesi li primetio da ljudi više dolaze kad vide da su pregledi stvarno besplatni i bez čekanja?
