The First Church Built in Honor of Saint Nektarios

Icon of St. Nektarios blessing Kymina

The first church built in honor of St. Nektarios the Wonderworker was built by Protopresbyter Nikolaos Meletides in the early 1960's in Kymina, Thessaloniki. This church contains the priestly stole of St. Nektarios from Aegina as a sacred relic and the shrine has become a source of many miracles for the faithful of the region of Macedonia and elsewhere.


Among the many miracles of the Saint in this church is the following: In 2015 a certain gentleman entered the sanctuary of the church and offered a prosphoron to a priest to be used in the Divine Liturgy. The priest was getting ready to celebrate the Liturgy with the parish priest. The gentleman then returned to his seat. The parish priest then called the gentleman to ask him about something, so the gentleman went. Not seeing the priest to whom he gave his prosphoron to, he asked the parish priest where he was. The parish priest replied that he was the only priest there. It was then they realized he had seen a vision of St. Nektarios, who had appeared in the church many other times before.




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.
