The Metropolis of Kisamos and Selinon announces that on Thursday 17th May, from 8.30pm to 11.00pm a nocturnal Divine Liturgy will be performed at the Holy Metropolitan Church of the Annunciation, dedicated to all the young students who are shortly commencing their end-of-year exams. The Metropolis invites the local youth who are about to start the painstaking task of studying for their school exams to participate in the Divine Liturgy, to pray and draw strength for this difficult task. At the end of the Divine Liturgy, a special prayer will be offered.

On Saturday 19 May is the feast of Holy Martyr Melchizedek, Bishop of Kisamos. In the Church of Archangel Michael (also known as Rotonda in the village of Episkopi in Kisamos), the oldest church in Crete (6th century AD) and also Metropolitan Church during the ministry of the Holy Martyr Melchizedek, on the evening of the feast, Friday May 18, at 18:30, a Panegyric Vesper will be held. On the day of the feast, Saturday 19 May, a Divine Liturgy will be preformed, presided over by His Eminence Metropolitan of Kisamos and Selinon Mr. Amphilochios.
