The “Ohi Day” was celebrated with solemnity in the Metropolis of Ireland, with Michael Karambalis, the Deputy Head of the Greek Embassy in Dublin, in attendance.
After the service, a reception was held in honor of Metropolitan Iakovos’ upcoming name day. The Metropolitan warmly greeted members of his congregation before leaving for the Holy Synod meeting at the Ecumenical Patriarchate the following day. The celebration was scheduled earlier to accommodate his travel plans.
