FAIR OF CHRISTIAN AND CHILDREN'S BOOKS OF APOSTOLIKI DIAKONIA OF THE CHURCH OF GREECE AND THE HOLY METROPOLIS OF TAMASOS AND ORINI (8 March-15 March 2015)
It was with unprecedented enthusiasm that the public and the clergy of Cyprus participated in the Fair of Christian and Children's Book held by Apostoliki Diakonia of the Church of Greece and the Holy Metropolis of Tamasos and Orini at Pano Deftera of Nicosia (8 March - 15 March 2015) following the agreement of the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Tamasos and Orini and His Eminence the Bishop of Fanarion and General Director of Apostoliki Diakonia Mr. Agathangelos during a meeting held at the offices of the Organisation in Athens.
The fair was inaugurated by the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Tamasos and Orini, Isaias, in the presence of the Minister of Education and Culture of Cyprus, Mr. Kadis , representatives of the armed forces and local authorities. Worth noting are the daily participation of the Elementary Schools of the greater area of the Metropolis during the morning hours of the Fair and the interest of the students for the children's publications of the Organisation. The few-day presence of the author of children's books, Ms Zoe Kanava , in the Fair, was accompanied by narrations of children's stories to our young friends in the church before the journey to the world of Children's books began where they practically showed their thirst for quality children's books. The participants in the Fair on behalf of Apostoliki Diakonia were Messrs L. Drollas and Th. Drakopoulos, who successfully cooperated with the people from " Agionisos " bookstore and the chancellor of the Metropolis, protopresbyter Theodoros Stylianou.
All the books' titles of Apostoliki Diakonia will continue to be exhibited in the exhibition area of Apostoliki Diakonia, next to the Church of Saint George, up to Easter, supporting thus the launched cooperation of the Organisation with the Holy Metropolis of Tamasos and Orini. |
