St Spyridon Greek Orthodox Parish in Sydney, a designated war memorial church, will host a special ANZAC Day service this Sunday, April 19, bringing together the community to honour Australians and Greeks who served and died in war.
The service will begin at 11:00am at the Kingsford church and will commemorate those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the two World Wars and in conflicts around the world.
As one of the few Greek Orthodox churches in Australia formally dedicated as a war memorial, St Spyridon holds deep symbolic significance for the Greek Australian community, reflecting a shared history of service, migration and contribution to the nation.
The annual service provides an opportunity for parishioners and the wider public to come together in prayer and reflection, paying tribute to those who fought for the values of freedom and democracy, while also acknowledging the enduring ties between Greece and Australia forged through wartime alliances.
Community members have been encouraged to attend the commemoration, which will include prayers, remembrance and the traditional ANZAC tribute.
