Elder Paisios, SAINT Paisios!!!

Word is getting around that Elder Paisios was officially canonized today!

We are all waiting the news from Constantinople! 

Meanwhile we are already rejoicing!!!

*

I first saw the news here: 

and now fellow bloggers are rejoicing here and here,

*

It's still the 12 days of Christmas for us on the Julian calendar,

day 7 in fact and it indeed feels like CHRISTMAS

with a new Saint given to us!!!

*

I've been so happy this morning when I read the news!

Holy Paisios pray to God for us!

May we have your blessing!
