Archimandrite Angelos Lyssaris, A Descendent of Kolokotronis, Reposes

 
September 25, 2010 
 
Today, Saturday 25 September 2010, Archimandrite Angelos Lyssaris, Abbot of the Holy Monastery of the Annunciation in Skiathos, an important center of the Kollyvades Fathers, has reposed. It is worth noting that the late Abbot Angelos Lyssaris was a third generation descendent of the Arch-General of the Revolution of 1821, Theodoros Kolokotronis. Fr. Angelos Lyssaris was originally from Limbovisi in the mountains of Arcadia (where also Kolokotronis was from), and according to tradition, at the Monastery of the Annunciation the first Greek flag with the white cross in the middle was stitched, blessed and raised in 1807. Lastly, the late Abbot was the priest chosen by Free Agia Sofia of Greek-American Chris Spyrou to liturgize in Hagia Sophia.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
