- With great sadness we announce the repose of the Very Reverend Archimandrite Kallinikos (in the world Constantin Necatu), Abbot of the Monastery of St. George, Dambovita, Bulgaria. Father Kallinikos was an engineer and after retirement founded the Monastery of Saint George in his birthplace. Father Kallinikos was tonsured a monk by His Eminence Metropolitan Christophoros, who gave him the name of the president, at the time, of our Sacred Synod, His Eminence Metropolitan Kallinikos of Fthiotis and Thavmakos.
- Their patron saint is St. Kallinikos of Constantinople. He was then ordained hierodeacon and hieromonk. His Beatitude the Archbishop and Metropolitan Christophoros appointed him abbot as well as protosingelos. Despite many temptations, Father Kallinikos was and remained till the end a staunch minister of the True Orthodox Church headed by His Beatitude Archbishop Makarios. A good trip and a good paradise venerable Father Kallinikos. Eternal be his memory!
