Consecration of the Only Church in Greece Dedicated to the Prophet Jonah


The only church in Greece dedicated to the Prophet Jonah is in the village of Anoskeli in Kisamos. It was consecrated on the Sunday of All Saints, 30 June 2013, and built entirely by the pious local family of Demetrios and Maria Stefanoudakis. It is a beauteous, stone-built church, very neat and groomed.

On Saturday 21 September 2013, the Church of the Prophet Jonah celebrated its first feast day, with a procession of his icon around the church before the celebration of the Festal Divine Liturgy.
