The Metropolitan and the Handicapped Boy


The following photos, provided by IeroVima, were taken on 24 March 2013 during the Festive Hierarchical Great Vespers at the Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos in Glyfada.

A mother brought her wheelchair bound son to church to participate in the feast of the Annunciation. Metropolitan Paul, who was at his episcopal throne, nodded to her to bring her child to him. So she did.

When the boy arrived the Metropolitan gave his episcopal staff to a little girl to hold while he briefly spoke with the boy who smiled with joy, giving him a book to follow the Service. The child sat beside the Metropolitan throughout the duration of the Service.

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.
