Pilgrimage to Kythira
Today, on the 9th of May 2018, with the grace of God and the embassies of Our Lady of Myrtidiotissa, we had the blessing to go to worship, in the homonymous Temple in Kythira, her holy and miraculous icon. We attended the Blessing of the Loaves and received blessings and spiritual power, followed by a pilgrimage to Saint Elessa and after that we headed for Avlemonas to eat until it was time to leave Kythira and return to Chania.
Holy Week

Let us be aware so we find ourselves among the vigilant that day.

Palm Sunday

Today, April 1st, 2018 on Palm Sunday with the temple packed with the faithful, we blessed the Vaia in memory of the event that took place in the days of our Lord. So the Lord, who is on His way to His Passion, but also goes to His Resurrection and Ascension, in order to send us the Holy Spirit, to offer us the gift of walking with Him, to meet and to be saved eternally with Him in His kingdom.

Afterwards we will pray the Holy Paraklesis to Saint Filothei and worship Her Sacred Holy Relic. In the morning and at 7:00 am the Matins will be celebrated and then the Archieratical Divine Liturgy will follow.
