The Feast Day of the Holy 1241 New Martyrs from Naousa celebrated with splendour
On the Sunday of Thomas, 23 April 2023, at the Metropolitan Church of the Transfiguration of Our Saviour, in Naousa, the memory of the Holy New Martyrs of Naousa, who were martyred in 1822 during the holocaust of the heroic city, was celebrated with splendor.
At the Poly-Hierarchical Divine Liturgy which took place, His Eminence Metropolitan Seraphim of Piraeus and Faliros presided, who also officiated at the Matins Service and offered the divine word, also being joined by His Eminence Metropolitan Ieronymos of Larissa and Tyrnavos and His Eminence Metropolitan Panteleimon of Veria, Naousa and Kampania.
At the end of the Divine Liturgy, a Doxology was performed on the anniversary of the Holocaust of the heroic city, in the presence of the representative of the Greek Government, Deputy Minister of Finance and Member of Parliament of Imathia Mr. Apostolos Vesyropoulos, and representatives of the other local political and military authorities.
This was followed by a procession to the “land of the Sacrifice” in the Arapitsa river and a wreath-laying at the waterfall, where the women of Naoussa sacrificed themselves with their young children in order not to fall into the hands of the Turks, while the events ended with the customary student and military parade.
The ecclesiastical order was overseen by the Protosyncellys of the local Holy Metropolis, Archimandrite Athenagoras Birdas, and the Archiepiscopal Vicar of Naousa and Dean of the Metropolitan Church, Archimandrite Joachim Despotis.
