On Palm Sunday, April 28, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., immediately after the Divine Liturgy, in the courtyard of Panagia Chora, the annual commemoration will take place. The event will be attended by His Eminence our Metropolitan, Mr. Paisios, who will conduct a memorial prayer.
The memorial speech will be delivered by the educator and Vice-President of the Board of Directors of the Literary Society Ai mousai, Ms. Christina Papoutsi.
This anniversary marks the courageous resistance of the people of Kalymnos and the Dodecanese during the period of Italian occupation, against all forms of violence and oppression of their ideals. Emmanuel Kazonis, as well as other anonymous fellow citizens, emerged as heroes and demonstrated their free and indomitable spirit.
A minute of silence will be observed followed by the National Anthem.
You are kindly requested to honor this sacred event with your presence, as a duty and tribute to the fighters of this period.
The Master of Ceremonies for the event is Mr. Vasilis Diakomichalis, an employee of the Municipality.
The Mayor Ioannis Mastrokoukos
