Today three years have passed from the saintly repose of Metropolitan of Australia Vissarion. The metastas was a tireless worker of the Gospel, a genuine worker of the Orthodox Confession with a fervent monastic living.
His work in Australia was of missionary and rich spiritual and ecclesiastical activity, erecting a parish and two monasteries.
With the proper grandeur, the 3 Saint Virgins Minodora, Mitrodora and Nymphodora, were celebrated at the homonymous Holy Temple of Votanikos, Athens.
The august prelate Metropolitan mr. Christophoros, assisted by the Protosyncellus Most Reverend Archim. Germanos, the vicar of the Temple, Most Reverend Archim. Paulos Apostolopoulos and other clergymen, presided at the festive events.
A small numbered chorus of chanters, under the direction of the chief cantor mr. Konstantinos Loukas, performed the festive hymns with Byzantine devoutness on the lectern.
During the litany, the musical Band, granted by the Municipality of Athens, was leading, emphasizing the festive ambience with their paeans.
May the three Saint Virgins Martyrs make us able to celebrate their august memory next year, too. Amen.
The team of Confessor.

With ecclesiastic resplendence but also with monastery devoutness was celebrated the Birth of Theotokos at the Monastery of Drenia, at Salamina.
In particular, this year, the scheduled Eucharistic Communion between our Metropolitan and mr. Christophoros, the Metropolitan of Sardiki, has begun. The Metropolitan Christophoros of Bulgaria comes from the synodic schema of the Metropolitan Pimenos, and despite the fluctuations of that ecclesiastic jurisdiction, he remained steadfast in his original antiecumenical position and, finally, he distanced himself following the old calendar, developing a rich ecclesiastic and confessional activity.
