Greek Orthodox Church streams live liturgy for Sunday of St. Matthew, Aug 2 2026
The Greek Orthodox Church marked Sunday, 2 August 2026, the liturgical celebration of the ninth Sunday after Pentecost (St. Matthew) and the translation of the relics of Saint Stephen. The Divine Liturgy and accompanying services were broadcast live on state television (ERT), dedicated church channels and official YouTube streams, allowing worshippers who could not attend in person—especially the elderly, the ill and members of the diaspora—to participate remotely.
The day's apostolic reading, drawn from 1 Corinthians 3 : 9‑17, was presented with a theological exposition that likened the Church to a cultivated field and a building founded on Christ, emphasizing unity and shared service among believers.
