Holy Church of Saint Nectarios

6) Describe one act of a servant leader that you have witnessed in Greece (not exclusive to our team travel group but could be someone in our team travel group) Rode her with Martin on a Scooter, he offered to take me without me asking. He spent his time helping me to get here. If Martin hadn’t helped I’d be fifty euros poorer. He went out of his way to help me. Martin’s kindness enabled me to go and experience a unique and beautiful area of Aegina that is full of Byzantinian beauty.

We got to the church and walked around absorbing the beauty of the Greek Orthodox faith. Martin had to leave me and I was left to explore the rest on my own. I walked up the long and winding ramp just to find that I could not enter because I was wearing shorts and the day are not allowed. I turned around and met this nice man who was selling incense, icons, and jewelry, we had a short conversation due to the language barrier but he helped me find clothes so that I would be able to enter into the monastery. On my way up the ramp for the second time I met a Father and he helped me put on the garment. His name was Father Lupos, he was lighthearted and happy, not at all what I was expecting (considering the very reverent feel of the monastery). There is too much to describe the monastery and it keep it short it was full of beautiful flowers and Icons everywhere you look with the aroma of incense and candles.Les mer
