The Metropolitan of Patras, His Eminence Chrysostomos, this week referred to the television series “St. Paisios: From Farasa to the Heavens”, a production of the St. Maximus the Greek Institute, which was among the most watched programs last season in Greece and Cyprus. His Eminence spoke on the occasion of the 20th century saint’s feast day on Tuesday.
Metropolitan Chrysostomos noted that the television series touched millions of people, who as he said, “…thirst for the saints, and seek models of piety and spiritual support.”
The statement came only days after the Ecumenical Patriarch Himself referred to the good portrayed by the very popular devotional series.
