St. Panteleimon Eve

On the Eve of Saint Panteleimon (26th July) we always have in our Church a Great and Festal Vespers.



This year His Grace Bishop Chrysostomos of Kyanea had presided over it.



Many pilgrims, from our Community and from other places of London as well, had come in order to honour the Festival of this Great Martyr and Healer.



At Vespers we had the newly painted Patronal Icon of both our Patron Saints, Panteleimon & Paraskevi, at the centre of the Church.



Many loafs of bread were offered by the people and were blessed by His Grace.



Then we had the traditional procession around the Church, with the Patronal Icon leading the way.




After the Service our Community Committees had offered hospitality at our Community Hall for all pilgrims.
