Join young Orthodox Christians from around the globe for the World Day of Orthodox Youth (WDOY) 2025, a three-day celebration of faith, fellowship, and cultural exchange.
From February 14-16, 2025, Warsaw will host this inspiring event, co-organized by Suprasl and the Fellowship of Orthodox Youth in Poland, in collaboration with ASCOR-Iasi, Romania, the Orthodox Youth of Belgium, and “Young Dreams” from the Diocese of Vilnius-Lithuania. The World Day of Orthodox Youth is organized with the blessing of His Beatitude Metropolitan Sawa of Warsaw and All Poland. Participation is open to Orthodox youth and young adults aged 17–30.
This year’s event combines spirituality, learning, and shared experiences in the heart of Poland’s vibrant capital. The program includes engaging talks, cultural activities, and the opportunity to celebrate the Feast of the Meeting of the Lord in the Temple with a Vigil and Divine Liturgy at Warsaw’s Cathedral of St Mary Magdalene.
We are very excited to announce this year’s speakers: Father Paisios “the Mathematician” and Mr. Athanasios Katigas from Thessaloniki.
Father Paisios was a disciple of St Paisios of Mount Athos. Saint Paisios became acquainted with Father Paisios when the latter was a young monk and teacher of mathematics, thus the name “the Mathematician”. Father Paisios served in the chapel of St Paisios hut on Sundays and Feast Days and became among the closest disciple of Saint Paisios, living by his side for 24 years.
Athanasios Katigas, a taxi cab driver in Thessaloniki, is the author of the book, “Tears of Repentance: True Experiences in a Greek Taxi Cab.” Athanasios’ book catalogues the spiritual conversations, awakenings and transformations that took place in his cab, with clients from all walks of life as he shared his love for Jesus Christ with them.
The World Day of Orthodox Youth is more than an event—it’s an opportunity to deepen your faith, forge meaningful connections, and celebrate the beauty of Orthodox youth from diverse backgrounds. Don’t miss this unforgettable experience in Warsaw!
Cost: €80, which covers accommodations, meals, and all events.
