Panagia Keratea Monastery Abbess'

[haralampopoulosjc]

First Abbess: Mother Mariam Soulakiotis (1927-1954)
Second Abbess: Mother Euphrosyne (1955-1981)
I'm not sure what the name of the current Abbess is, but she is the sister of the Archbishop Stephanos of Athens.

I'll look at that biography at the library - looks very interesting.

Perhaps it's talked about in there, but could you please tell us about the Panagia Keratea Convent ? I'd like to hear.
Where is it exactly ? Why the name Keratea, what does that mean ?

It's the main women's monastery for the Matthewite synod. Keratea is the name of the town in Greece where it's located. Here's the website for the convent: https://impefkovounogiatrissis.com/%CE% ... E%B4%CE%B1
