The Patriarchal School of Zion Celebrates the National Anniversary of 28 October
On the afternoon of Wednesday, 15/28 October 2026, an internal school celebration was held at the Patriarchal School of Zion in honour of the national anniversary of 28 October 1940.
The celebration was honoured by the presence of His Beatitude our Father and Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos III, and the Consul General of Greece in Jerusalem, Mr Dimitrios Angelosopoulos. Also in attendance were numerous Fathers of the Holy Sepulchre Brotherhood, monks and nuns, and members of the Greek Community of Jerusalem.
Following a brief introductory address by the School Principal, Monk Basilios, the keynote address commemorating the national anniversary was delivered by the Professor of Theology, Ms Anastasia Chelmi. Thereafter, under the guidance of the teachers and through the dedicated efforts of the pupils, poems were recited, and songs were sung, while video footage was presented on screen depicting scenes of violence and atrocities perpetrated by the Italian and German occupying forces, the ordeals endured by the Greek people, and their valour and united resistance, through which the inhumane yoke of occupation was cast off.
At the conclusion of the celebration, His Beatitude and the Consul General commended the School Principal, the teachers and the pupils, whose collaboration had conveyed profound sentiments of national emotion, patriotic elation and pride. Their efforts had also rekindled hope for the continued flourishing of the blessed Greek nation and the enduring mission of the Patriarchal School.
