In Konitsa, Greece, Metropolitan Alexios of Dryinoupolis, Pogonianis, and Konitsa led the first Divine Liturgy inside the home where Saint Paisios grew up.

The service took place in a chapel being renovated within the historical residence, coinciding with the feast day of Saints Artemios and Gerasimos of Cephalonia. A large number of worshippers from Konitsa and other parts of Greece attended the liturgy.

Following the service, Metropolitan Alexios spoke about the importance of holding the liturgy in the place where Saint Paisios spent his youth. He announced that the chapel will now hold regular services, allowing both locals and visitors to attend Divine Liturgy within Saint Paisios’ former home. The renovation of the chapel will continue to provide a place of worship for those who want to honour the saint.
