After much hard work and pushing by Doctor Michalis we finally got a new surgery in the village. It is just round the corner from the post office in the newly renovated old village square. The two priests to the left of the first picture are Papa Nektarios (wearing all the gear), the main priest in the area, and a colleague from Heraklion. On the right wearing the red shawl is Papa Vangellis from Stalis and wearing the Gold shawl is Papa Emmanouil (Manolis) from Mochos. After prayers were said, Holy water was sprinkled on the cross using Rosemary branches. Everyone then kissed the cross and were sprinkled on the head with Holy water too. After that it was the speech from the local mayor and then a party with lots to eat and drink.
