On Sunday of the Veneration of the Holy Cross, April 7, 2024, Bishop Iakovos of Claudiopolis celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Archangel Michael in Golders Green, London.
Bishop Iakovos conveyed Archbishop Nikitas’s paternal wishes and blessings, as we continue our lenten journey towards Pascha.
Bishop Iakovos stressed the importance of repentance, of our participation in the daily lenten services of the Church, and of the sacrament of confession for our spiritual growth, within the context of the lenten fast. Bishop Iakovos also thanked the priest-in-charge, Archimandrite Vissarion Kokliotis, as well as the presidents of the ecclesiastical council and ladies’ auxiliary committee for their tireless efforts and recent ministries.
Fr Vissarion Kokliotis concelebrated at the Hierarchical Liturgy and Deacon Gregory Florides served and preached the sermon in Greek and English.
