The celebration of the translation of the relics of St. Nektarios on the ground floor of the old building of the Patriarchal Committee in Hamzawi took place this morning.
The Orthros and the Divine Liturgy were performed by Archimandrite Stephen and the Archimandrites Paul and Paisios chanted.
The atmosphere of the Liturgy was very emotionally charged because, in this sacred place, Saint Nektarios lived and served during his years in Egypt.
Today is a historic day for the Church. Day of remembrance of the first translation of the Holy Relics of Saint Nektarios that took place on September 3, 1953.
A day of reflection also with special messages from the life of Saint Nektarios. A Saint who in his earthly presence was loved and martyred as few.
After the end of the ceremony, the Sanctification rite took place for the new ecclesiastical year and for the new month.
