On Saturday, August 22, His Holiness the Metropolitan of Thessaloniki, Mr. Philotheos, officiated and preached the divine word in the Parish Byzantine Church of the Holy Twelve Apostles. Before the dismissal, His Holiness performed, together with the concelebrating elders and deacons, the memorial services for the repose of the souls of pious Christians.

Theologos Spyridis, president of the Ecclesiastical Council, and Fr. Ioannis Tanos, the Hierarch of Fr. Nifon, from the Holy Monastery of St. Gregory of Mount Athos, the archdeacon Fr. Dimitrios Roudko and the deacon Fr. David Karypoglou.

Nice to see Metropolitan Philotheos back at the Twelve Apostles church. The memorial service at the end with all those concelebrating clergy, especially the monk from Gregoriou on the Holy Mountain, must have been very moving for the families. Did anyone get a sense of how many people turned up on the Saturday?

Хубаво е да се види, че митрополит Филотей отново служи в храма на Дванадесетте апостоли. Особено ми направи впечатление монахът отец Нифон от Григориу на Света гора – рядко виждаме такъв гост на енорийска литургия. Колко души бяха накрая на панихидата, не се споменава, но сигурно семействата са се зарадвали на толкова много духовници заедно.

Било је лепо видети да је владика Филотеј опет служио у храму Дванаест апостола. Посебно ми је било занимљиво што је био и отац Нифон из манастира Григориу, то није обичан гост на епархијској литургији. Интересује ме колико је људи остало на панихиди на крају, јер се то не помиње.
