One of the most important icons of Mount Athos was transferred to Volos, launching in this way a series of cult and cultural events, in memory of Saints Constantine and Helen, Equal-to-the Apostles.
It is the sacred and miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary Fovera Prostasia, kept in the Koutloumousiou Monastery of Mount Athos, and transferred to Volos by hieromonk Philotheos.
The sacred icon was transferred by sea, and Metropolitan Ignatios of Demetrias officially received it.
After the Doxology, Metropolitan Ignatios referred to the great blessing of the holy icon, which is also a blessing from Mount Athos. The Metropolitan spoke of the long-standing spiritual ties of Magnesia with Mount Athos.
