Thousands of pilgrims flock to Holy Island of Tinos

Thousands of pilgrims have sailed from Greece and abroad this weekend to the holy island of the Virgin to venerate the sacred Icon and to lay up their hope and trust in the Most Holy Theotokos, reports Romfea.

The priests of the Church of the Annunciation of the Holy Virgin diligently performed the prayer service succession, remembered names and under epitrachilia gave calm to the souls of those people who, among others, proceeded to the Sacrament of Confession.

Due to the coordination and responsibility of Metropolitan Dorotheou II of Syros and Tinos, the clergy of the Annunciation Church and those in obedience, with care and great respect for all the pilgrims, perform their work to alleviate the trouble of travel and address their needs.
