Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and All Greece officiated at the Service of Nipteros at the Church of Agios Dimitrios on Holy Wednesday afternoon.
Father Matthaios Halaris thanked the Archbishop for his presence, immediately after the Service, while the Archbishop thanked f. Matthaios and stressed that the Lord’s last words to his disciples were, “I did not come to the world to be served but to serve others. If we make this our slogan after leaving this Service tonight, we will sense Easter better than ever” and he wished everyone Happy Easter.
The hymns were chanted by the Byzantine choirs of the Temple under the direction of Protopsaltis Symeon Svanas.
