037 - 1980.03 - ΔΗΜΗΤΣΑΝΑ
by Brotherhood of Dimitsaniton “Gregory the E” · 1980
Summary
The March 1980 issue carries Metropolitan Theophilos’s Easter message: the Resurrection is the triumph of love, truth and justice over hatred and death. A living bond with Christ is urged, expressed through daily acts of kindness. Cyprus is singled out as a continuing wound needing faith, prayer and just resolution. The paper also notes Gregory V’s relics held in Peloponnesian monasteries and the intent to collaborate so they may be brought together in a future memorial space in Dimitsana. The tone blends pastoral guidance with practical exhortation toward unity and concrete love.
