Overview

The feast of Saint Paraskevi continued across Greece on July 25‑27 2026 with a series of liturgical services, processions and charitable activities. In Halkidiki, the Metropolitan of Chalcidice presided over an evening service at the Metropolitan Church of Saint Damian followed by a street procession that drew thousands, while similar evening liturgies were held in Argos Oresitiko and Serres at historic monasteries. Parishes in Daphne‑Siatias, the Makrinitsa monastery, and the Greek Orthodox community in Alexandria, Egypt, also organised solemn services and music. Additional celebrations were reported in the Lower Cross (Kato Stauros), where Metropolitan Theoklitos of Ieros led the vespers, and in Karditsa, where Metropolitan Seraphim of Kythera and Antikythera delivered a sermon on the saint’s martyrdom. Local bishops, mayors and cultural leaders emphasized Paraskevi’s patronage of the afflicted and the charitable spirit of the gatherings.
