The custom of the return of the icon of Panagia Myrtidiotissa was completed this afternoon, as the icon returned with the escort of believers to the holy pilgrimage of Myrtidia.
As George Lourantos, a theological teacher, wrote, «with joyful bells, resurrection hymns and with feelings of immense respect and deepest gratitude, we accompanied the Holy Icon of the Patroness of our island on her throne today, the Sunday of the Myrrh-bearers. And next year!»
Everyone's wish and next year the Tsirigotes will celebrate the traditional custom, with health and protection for humanity, with the pandemic finally defeated.
