Fascinating ! Thank you Thomas, I appreciate that survey. The name struck me as different but I couldn't figure out what it was. I didn't think she would go to some neighborhood church, so that makes sense from that point of view to go to the Abp of Athens' cathedral church.
Oh i just realized that Palm Sunday was celebrated the same day by most Orthodox, even New Calendarists. I forgot ! That was my confusion on that point.
Now you have described this revised Julian calendar setup that the state Church of Greece has. OK, that helps a lot. I really don't know much at all about them.
Is Holy Annunciation a visually imposing church ? Or fairly regular Greek style, just a little grander maybe considering the official functions being held there.
Do we have information about St Philothei of Athens on this site ? I would like to know more about her. I'll check later. If you have any material, please post it when you have a chance, even on this thread would be good to uplift all the readers !
Well maybe by virtue of her being buried in that edifice, people who attend will FEEL SOMETHING and become more traditional without their even realizing what influenced them !
Wow, the Greek police were nasty to attack the protestors like that.
Reminds me of the treatment of the Old Calendarist monks on Mt Athos.
