As of Wednesday, February 3, 2021, the miraculous Sanctuary of Saint John the Prodromos in Paşalimanı, between Kuzguncuk and Scutari, can be visited again.
The Sanctuary remained closed for a long time.
A letter from Metropolitan Athanasios of Chalcedon to the Authorities, as well as the tireless efforts of the President of the Community of Kuzguncuk, Savvas Kotam, to the City Hall of Scutari and the Directorate General of Antiquities and Cultural Heritage brought the desired outcome.
The Sanctuary reopened with the help of the City Hall and thanks to the care of President Savvas Kotam, who renovated the premises of the Sanctuary.
On Wednesday, February 3, 2021, the first Sanctification rite was performed by Fr. Nafkratios in an atmosphere of emotion and joy.
The Sanctuary will be open on the first Tuesday of each month.
