A Snake of the Panagia Has Appeared in Kefallonia (2013)


August 6, 2013

The snakes of the Panagia have appeared in Arginia!

Today, Tuesday August 6th, a Supplication Service was conducted by Archimandrite Fr. Gerasimos Phokas, during which the first snake appeared.

From today until the 15th of August other snakes will emerge. You can visit the village and see them up close!

When the snakes come out, it is considered good luck for Kefalonia. The two years they didn't emerge, in 1940 and 1953, the island suffered war and earthquakes.

Translated by John Sanidopoulos.

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.
