Hierarchical Vespers at the Chapel of Panagia Myrtiotissa
On Sunday, September 7th, a Hierarchical Vespers service was held at the chapel of Panagia Myrtiotissa, officiated by Bishop Evangelos Kourounis of Sardis, who hails from Kalymnos.
The chapel is located on the Myrties ring road and belongs to the family of Mrs. Kalliopi Mavrou, honorary president of L.E.K. The sermon by Mr. Ioannis Mavros was a powerful theological and moral discourse, which deeply moved and captivated the congregation.
Kalymnos Times secured an exclusive statement from Mrs. Mavrou regarding the church, the discovery of the icon, and the historical significance of the chapel.
After the Vespers service, a small celebration followed in the chapel’s courtyard, featuring dancing, live music, and refreshments.
