Annual Memorial of lost Rotarians


One of the standard obligations of a christian family is to remember the lost. To recall their memory. To commemorate them. To pray to the church and to organise memorials for these souls' beatitude and repose.
Rotary Club of Iraklio, being a big christian family, does not forget to commemorate every year for all of its member that are no longer alive. They are not dead, because dead is only who is forgotten.
Therefore, on Sunday 28 November of this year the Memorial of lost Rotarians took place at the church of Saviour's Metamorphosis, in the scenic and hospitable village Kounavoi. This church is unique all over Greece, as it has five domes. It is built according to the byzantine style and it is cross-shaped, while there is another church like that at Torino, Italy.






Father Zaharias Adamakis, director of the Elementary School of the village, officiated. Along with us a big crowd worshipped, while we were honoured by the presence of the Mayor of Nikos Kazantzakis municipality, where Kounavoi is located.
After the end of the ceremony, there was coffee offered at the cafe of Fani and Georgios Tsagarakis, where the mayor Mr. Roussos Kipriotakis honoured us, as well as Father Zaharias and many people from Kounavoi.
