PRESS RELEASE

PLACES OF GOD 2018

August is associated with the honor and reverence towards the face of our Virgin Mary, culminating in the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, 

which throughout time was clothed by the manifestations of the popular piety of our Genus, with a multitude of popular traditions and cultural manifestations of religious life, 

creating culture in every season, inspires the Neohori Community in this year's start and establishment of the annual summer cultural events in the courtyard of the church,

 with the name "Theotokeia", in honor of the Most Holy Theotokos and our church celebrating this month. 

The arts, letters, music and culture meet the Christian piety of the faithful and religious devotion of the holy services, 

developing a creative dialogue of "wisdom above" and "education below", 

while deepening dialogic communication with our non-community fellow citizens as a bridge to human civilization. 

We await you at the cultural celebration of the summer "Easter". 

From the Board of Trustees and the Priesthood.
