The Northern Chios Society of Pelineon – Agia Markella takes care of the visit of Archbishop Elpidophoros of America.
The Archbishop had officiated the festal Vespers service for this year’s celebration at the privately owned church of the Northern Chios Society of Pelineon – Agia Markella in New York.
There the Archbishop had revealed that he, too, was descended from Chios by his grandfather. This was also the reason for the invitation to the visit.
The arrival and reception of the Archbishop at the airport of Chios will take place on Monday, September 6. at 12.00, and his departure will take on Thursday, September 9, at 7.00.
