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.
The new Typicon of the ecclesiastical period of 2014-2015 has been published. An important tool for Chanters and clergy alike. You may acquire the Typicon from the publisher Monastery of Panagia Drenia (tel: +30 2104672921) but also from the ecclesiastical bookstore “Vasilevousa” (ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΟΥΣΑ) Likourgou 9, 6th floor, Athens, Greece (Λυκούργου 9, 6ος ὄροφος).
To make an order from outside of Greece please communicate with the Holy Monastery of Panagia Drenia.
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 Μr. 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.

criticizing the contacts of our Sacred Synod with the Bostonites. We are familiar with past Matthewite tactics and behavior so when they say “He lies!” we return the compliment to them.
Regarding this matter, the “CONFESSOR,” as we have stated, is not the official web site of the Sacred Synod and therefore only publishes general information regarding Church events. Our position concerning the heresy of Onomatolatreia is clear from the title. Two Patriarchal Epistles [i.e., of Patriarch Germanos V] are published in English and one in Greek (the latter original epistle is admittedly somewhat illegible due to the difficulty of copying it) which plainly condemn Onomatolatreia.
So what else do you want Messrs. Matthewites?
We found this and published it.If you have other clear and convincing information to send us we will gladly post them and declare our thanks to you.
Now, regarding your thorn’s “on the icon of the Holy Trinity” answer: You once lit a big fire in the Orthodox world from which not only were you scorched but cremated, trying to kindle this same fire in others as well. Fortunately, because the origin of this controversy emanated from the Matthewites, everyone simply crossed themselves and ignored it.
Finally, kindly do not bother us. If you continue it will only force us to review our firm policy of avoiding any confrontation with the GOC.
