Metropolitan Hilarion (Kapral)
How are we to emulate the saints on earth? We should hold the Living God in our hearts, not abandon our interpersonal relationships, share heartfelt warmth and attention with our neighbors, help those who are in need, strengthen your parish families, and not distinguish between those born here and those who came from afar.
Saint Athanasius Parios, the distinguished theologian and great teacher of the Greek nation, was born in the village of Kostos on the island of Paros around 1721—1722. His father, Apostolos Toulios, was from Siphnos, and his mother was a native of Paros.
