Διαδώστε:
The Church today venerates the memory of Dionysius of Zakynthos. This holy hierarch was born and raised on the eponymous Ionian Sea island in the 16th century.

St. Dionysius reposed in peace in 1621, leaving behind his sacred and incorrupt relics as a treasure for his fellow citizens. He is the patron saint of Zakynthos.

The Church also commemorates Daniel the Prophet, along with Ananias, Azarias, and Misail, the Three Holy Youths who were thrown into a furnace in Babylon.
