My Mood: | Great Feast For Orthodoxy
With Assumption being one the most important feasts of Orthodoxy, thousands of worshipers are flocking to Tinos and Panagia Soumela Holy Monastery to celebrate.
The President of the Hellenic Republic Karolos Papoulias will visit Panagia Soumela Holy Monastery Wednesday to attend the Mass and the procession of the icon of the Theotokos. Mr Papoulias will also lay a wreath at Alexandros Ipsilantis’ bust and sit at a luncheon hosted in his honor by the Board of the Panhellenic Foundation "Panagia Soumela."
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis is in Tinos with his family. Tomorrow, he will attend the events held there and will return to Athens on August 16. Present at the events in Panagia Soumela will also be Pasok (Socialists) party leader George Papandreou. |
