The First Church Dedicated to Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyva in Greece


The first church in Greece dedicated to Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyva was inaugurated at Langada, Greece on the 4th of October 2015 by His All Holiness Bartholomew, the Ecumenical Patriarch of the Orthodox Church, surrounded by many other Metropolitans, Clergy and faithful.

The Langada region is inhabited by many former refugees from the Pontus region and Asia Minor.

The Church of Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyva was already sanctified by Metropolitan John of Langada, Liti and Rentini, at whose initiative the church was built.

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.
