HIEROMONK ATHANASIOS CHAMAKIOTIS

Book is an account of the remarkable and radiant life of Father Athanasios Chamakiotis (1891-1967), who lived in Maroussi, Athens, and was the priest of the Church of Panagia Neratziotissa. His warmth of heart is a source of strength at the moments when our life becomes unbearable, and invites us to share the paradise of love, joy and forgivenness which he inhabits. He overflows with love for God and man, and is adorned with all the holy virtues: he is mild, humble, modest, serene, patient, ascetic, an authentic pastor and spiritual father, a true warrior who through the grace of God and the holiness of his way of life was was clothed in divinity. This book is a biographical sketch of his life and work. It is brought to the Greek public in the hope that the life of this elder of blessed memory, which is a new page in the life of Christ on earth, may function as a wake-up call for our all-too-complacent consciences.
