What a great blessing it was for me to visit the Holy Monastery of Saint Nektarios in Roscoe, New York.
With the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, I had the joy of participating in the celebration of the feast day of the translation of the Holy Relics of Saint Nektarios, as well as in the cheirothesia and enthronement of the new Geronda of the Monastery, Very Rev. Archimandrite Stephanos.
This blessed day carried an even deeper personal meaning for me, as we also commemorated Saint Polydoros, whose name my beloved father carried. Being there, I offered a prayer service at the graves of both of my beloved parents, Polydoros and Kyriaki, and it was in a moment filled with prayer, gratitude, love, and remembrance.
I thank God for this blessed day and pray that Saint Nektarios and Saint Polydoros intercede for us all.
