100-year-old priest honoured in Koromilia, Domokos

·

A deeply moving celebration was held in the village of Koromilia, Domokos, in honour of Archpriest Fr. Konstantinos Zachos, who at 100 years old continues to celebrate the Divine Liturgy. The event fulfilled a long-standing public promise made by His Eminence Metropolitan Symeon of Phthiotis to honour the priest upon reaching his centenary.

The celebration took place at the Spiritual Centre of the Church of the Prophet Elijah, where Fr. Konstantinos still serves. The parish, local authorities, and village associations gathered in large numbers, joined by clergy from across the region and the Mayor of Domokos, Haralampos Liolios.

Addressing the congregation, Metropolitan Symeon spoke with deep emotion, paying tribute to Fr. Konstantinos’ lifelong devotion, obedience, and unwavering service to the Church, even decades after his formal retirement.

The centenarian priest was presented with honours and gifts by both the Metropolitan and his parishioners.
