We are an Orthodox Community that is part of the Greek Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain (Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople) serving to any Orthodox Christians or simply those who have an interest in the oldest form of Christianity with roots that go back to the Holy Apostles. Our Community's Patron Saint Holy and Glorious Hieromartyr and our Father among the saints Bishop Kessog is Venerated and Commemorated on the March 10. Kessog was martyred at Bandry, just to the south of Luss, about 520 - 30 A.D. on March 10. This Holy Bishop, Confessor and Glorious Martyr was venerated, and not unmeritedly, in the churches in Scotland and Ireland throughout the many centuries. There, while he was living on earth, as his main longing he sought out the true way of living for ever in heaven. Kessog was in fact one of the very first Christian missionaries and confessors in Scotland and he became one of the first martyrs in Scotland.
